Happy Blogging Birthday

Happy Birthday to meeeeeeeeee! Today my blog turns 1 year old! We've had a rough first year. It turned out to be absolutely not what I expected. But along the way, I've had a lot of good things too. I've made new great friends and I have the best husband on the planet. Hope you'll join me for the next year.

One Year Ago...

Tomorrow, I made THIS post. My very first blog post. :::le sigh:::

I remember being so hopeful. I remember thinking our biggest obstacle would be my arthritis. I remember stalking my chart every day- staring at it looking for patterns. I remember analyzing every twinge I felt.

So here I am a whole year later. And nothing is as it was then.

I gave up on charting long ago- just didn't seem to have a point anymore. I know we'll never have a baby "the old fashioned way". I have cancer. My husband and I have both been hospitalized since then.

Next year has to be better, right?

200th Post

This is my 200th post. I had all these good plans for my 200th post.
And then the lady from Nuclear Medicine called me.

I had my entire schedule for Radiation Iodine treatment planned out. I coordinated my entire life around it. Scheduling trips away, doctor appointments, my work schedule- all based around this hot mess of a schedule. My sister rescheduled my niece's baptism so I could go.

There is STILL a shortage of Thyrogen (you can read about it HERE) and so all my treatment appointments were pushed back three weeks. THREE FREAKIN WEEKS.

So now instead of being admitted on July 7th, I'll be in the hospital on July 20th. And of course- just pushes all things IVF even further out. FML.

Followers

I'm up to 70 followers! Yowza!

I know I've been boring lately- but I super mega thank everyone who reads my ramblings. I love knowing that you're out there and I love it when you make such awesome comments.

Thank you for following me!

I'm bringing blogging back.

I've been missing in action. I know. I'm sorry! I blame Blogger. It's been acting like a nut case lately and not letting me post.

I'm pretty boring these days. I'm DOG tired. Like the worst fatigue ever. So that means I have no love for blogging at home. I get home and I lay on the couch. That's about all I can muster. I emailed my endo today begging him to find my lab results. It's starting to mess with my work life and I just can't be this tired all time. So I'm hopeful that we'll get it straight soon.

In other news- JC is down over 40 lbs. since surgery. It's crazy. He doesn't look the same, he doesn't feel the same when you hug him. It's strange in the best way possible. He's behaving himself from an eating perspective so that is all getting better.

I'm going to be a better blogger. I pinky swear.
