today was far more productive. you can tell because i'm wearing makeup, my hair is done, & p-ray isn't in pajamas. every now & then, a lazy all-day-pajama-wearing-day like yesterday is important because it allows a person {me} to recharge & be a little more motivated the next day. that's what i say to justify it, anyways. i think i'm buying it.
today i had an appointment with my endocrinologist.
apparently pregnancy wasn't the magical cure-all for my thyroid issues & my levels are way out of whack again.
& just in case i didn't believe the blood test results on paper, they did an ultrasound on my neck to show me in living color how messed up my thyroid looks. it's awesome when the doctor puts the ultrasound on his neck and says, "see this? this is what a normal, healthy thyroid looks like. let's look at yours. oh yeah, that's a beauty. see how big & unhealthy that looks? beautiful... just lovely."
my drug levels were tripled & i was sent on my way. so that's cool.
my thyroid may be twice the normal size, it might be worthless in ten years, & i'll probably be on drugs for the rest of my life, but at least i have a doctor who thinks big is beautiful.
in closing.
here are three things for today's edition of "what makes amy happy"...
1. the nikon d7000. i think we've made a decision about which dslr we'll be buying. nikon recently announced the d7000. it fits somewhere in their lineup between the d90 & the d300s. it has increased video capabilities & some other cool features, but won't be available to buy until mid-october. that's ok. it gives me more time to find someone to sell my soul to so we can pay for it.
2. sophie. i have to admit that all the sophie the giraffe hype is true. i have read about how uh-mazing she is on many many mommy blogs/community boards & gave in to the rumors. parker thanks me. he l-o-v-e-s his sophie. if you're wondering whether spending twenty dollars on a toy that looks like it is meant for a small dog is really worth it, i'm telling you it is.
unless you're ok with having your baby endlessly gnaw on your knuckles/fingers/nose/other small body parts, then ignore this.
3. modern family. who's with me? such a great show. season premiere tomorrow night & i am super excited. i would argue that i don't watch much tv, but then i start counting up all my favorite shows & i have to stop talking. i don't care. i'm in love with this show & i don't care who knows it.
your votes keep these fingers typing. vote vote vote!
