Blood Tests and Birthdays

I turned 29 today.

And I got a letter in the mail telling me my blood tests did present some irregularities...
...that they'd been trying to call.
...I called them to learn that my thyroid is throwing a hissy fit.  (Did you call this, North?)

Tsk tsk, butterfly gland.  First, you sound like you're responsible for producing the sensation of excitement, but then second, re-heeally you're in the business of breaking down and multiplying normal mamma-poopedness by 63.  Rude.

Kind of a birthday present, right?  I mean having progress towards a diagnosis...not the magnified poopedness.

On my birthday, I like to give presents to other people.  Today, those other people are all of you.  I've been saving this from a few weeks ago...

Here is a picture of our family (sans photo-taker = moi) approximatley 2 minutes after our nightly Family Prayer and after a single lullaby. 

Let me break this down for you;
  • Haki is asleep.
  • Two girls are not.
  • If this photo could talk, it would snore...like a hibernating bear.
  • I need to work on my lullabies.

Happy my-birthday!

P.S.  My MIL ensured I was spoiled, thanks for asking.

3 things: firstly I really hope that a diagnosis means a solution and improvement aren't far away for you. Secondly, oh happy day (again!) to you. Thirdly, that photo is H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S, really Haki can fall asleep that quickly? I am super impressed. I could never do it!

Happy Birthday! And hope the diagnosis means you can get it sorted :) And that photo is priceless!

JR and Haki would be the best of friends (if they could stay awake long enough...!) poor papa bears are so over-worked...;)

Happy birthday! I'm glad you finally have some answers!

Heather said...

So very grateful we (YOU) are figuring out what is going on with your cute little body. Love Haki! We can do a count down for Adam falling asleep. Usually I can start at 3... even with 3 kids jumping over, around and on him. Funny Daddies!! Love you so much!

Haaaaaaahahaha I love that Haki is the only one not immune to your lullaby.

And wish I could claim that I was some sort of medical genius but I think it was another Nikki. Smart woman, she is. Hopefully the results mean that they can do something now - you've been dealing with this for ages!

Your kids are super cute, btw.

Lets hope a diagnosis turns into a solution for you. Nothing worse than feeling under the weather yourself when you have to look after little people. Best wishes. xx

I hope you had a special birthday! I too was diagnosed with a thyroid problem during my second pregnancy. Very frustrating, but not too much of a drama to treat. I haven't had a problem with it for nearly five years now. God is so good! By the way I love that photo! Hilarious!!
