Happy Birthday to me

Another year in paradise....

Today I am 34. Geez, I am starting to feel old because I recall telling my father "30 was my best year" and 4 years have now passed since.

Little Krinny went to her regular pediatrician and it seemed that visit was a bit more encouraging than Monday's visit to the neurologist. Well, the little piggy gained a pound since last week (no wonder, she's been eating me out of a house and home) and the way she's running around, playing and getting into mischief, you'd never know that less than two weeks ago a machine was breathing for her.

I voiced my anxieties and told her doctor (who I love, she's a wonderful lady) how what her neurologist said scared the hell out of me. You know a doctor really won't come out and dispute another doctor but she looked at me and said this "I can understand your worries but I will tell you this; This child impresses me with how much she has been through and how fast she bounces back and is very unaffected." I guess that gave me some hope but my worry will always be there.

We also had our donor come come last night from WI. I really didn't want to TTC this month but I felt bad because he already took leave to come help us. I think my O has been messed up with this stress so I do not think this is a hopeful cycle but worth at least a try. I think he was late by a day, maybe two. Time will tell. He brought us the yummiest Wisconsin cheese, sausage, and jam I have ever had! So much for trying to lose weight and for avoiding calcium with my kidney stone issues, lol. He's really a wonderful person and anyone would be blessed to have him as a donor.

I know I am blessed to have such a sweet, caring and wonderful husband and wonderful children. I know poor Tony is beating himself up over not being able to take me out to dinner for my b-day, but really, the best b-day presents are these thoughtful cards from him and my children and my Korinne's laugther and smile. Also, a couple of friends took me to a birthday lunch yesterday. It was so funny how Korinne pigged out, lol! She must have put away almost a whole small bread basket. I had dipped a piece of my bread in some oil with Italian seasonings and I turned around for a second and could not find my bread when I looked back around. A quick look at Korinne devouring it really made me laugh.

Well, I'm signing off but before I go, I want to thank those of you who have been there for me through so much hell and pain I have been having lately. You'll never know how much a simple phone call or e-mail means to me.
