Blood work

My blood work is all normal. I suppose the drop in weight is due to a change in my taste in food I certainly have not stopped eating so maybe I just changed what I ate with out realizing it. This is good news and I can stop worrying!

House hunting

Today during lunch Jason and I went to see three houses. One was not at all good it was too small (3 bedroom and one would only be fit for a nursery), The secound was a nice house however the bedrooms were split between the floors so once we had more than one child Evelyn would have to move upstairs alone. The last one was actually a great house. The list price is a little high for the neighborhood despite the fact that it will only need about 11K in work. The people selling have done a lot of great stuff to the house to raise the value. They just missed a few things. also the houses in the neighborhood have been selling undervalue. Dad asked what was wrong with the neighborhood making me wonder if we missed something other than it just being a buyers market. It could be that the estimates that I found were high. Once we find out about the layoffs we will have to decide if we want to pursue the house in the meantime we are keeping our options open and keep looking.

The Verdict

So my diet was about what the diatician said she thought it would be. She had a few suggestions for me for snacks (almonds and walnuts), bread with my breakfast on weekends, almond butter and a little more fruit. It seems they are upping the recommended intake for fruit for the new year. So I was thinking of making a mix to keep at my desk of nuts and dried fruit. So no worries with my diet. now i just have to wait for the blood work to come back and if it is good we can all stop worrying!

Week 5!

The embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby is .13 inches! Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of hCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests)... which triggers production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone... which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!

blood work

So I called the doctor yesterday just to let her know what was going on and see what she thought was going on and she decided to order some blood work. I got it done today and now I'm curious to see what it looks like. I know she got a blood panel and TSH (thyroid) and something else. I have just about convinced myself that I did change my eating habits just not meaning to and that is why i'm loosing weight. Maybe my tastes just changed - random yes but nothing to worry about :)

The diatician could not see me today (not surprised as she is usually insanely busy on Tuesdays but will see me tomorrow instead. Wish me luck! As a bonus I started this week the same weight I was last week!

Planet Fitness

I finally made it into the gym. I joined planet fitness though I can't say that it will ever be my favorite gym.
1) I almost walked out right away due to the smell. I don't remember any other gym smelling like sweat quite like this one - I think that they need to work on their ventilation. It wasn't bad enough to scare me off so I signed up.
2) there was no tour of the gym - not that there is much of it. but sometimes here is the locker room is helpful.
3)The person that signed me up said it was a "beginners" gym - what a joke. they don't have anyone to show people how the machines work. As I was working out I ended up helping someone with the machine next to mine.
4) I think I saw 2-3 other people wipe down their weight machines - GROSS!
5) They have a button to push that looks like it lites up something if people grunt to loudly or drop weights - really? Okay I get that it is annoying but instead of warning the person and then quietly removing the offender you need to make a ruckus and disturb everyone?!
6) They don't have my favorite machine.

I'm sure I will be adding to this list. Oh well you get what you pay for...

So fast...

It seems like last time it took forever to get to the nurses appointment let alone the first doctors appointment. I called in to make the appointments this morning and go in to see the nurse on the 27th - that's just over a week away and the long awaited dr's appointment will be on the 17th. I'm sure that soon time will feel like it stopped again soon but in the mean time I am happy to focus on Evelyn, house hunting and my (our!) health.

So far other than being exhausted I have had no symptoms. Yippee for no morning sickness - lets hope it keeps up!
