Today is my youngest child's birthday.  Joshua turns 5 today!

It's so hard to believe that he is already 5!  I miss him so much.  He is back in Massachusetts with his dad and older brother, Gabriel (age 9 - will turn 10 in May).  I haven't seen Josh and Gabriel since I left in October 2003 and it breaks my heart.  Josh should be entering kindergarten in the fall, and Gabriel will be in 4th grade.  Time sure does fly.

Ren Faire was fun yesterday.  We walked around for about 2.5 hours (and of COURSE I logged in all that walking time!).  Wes and I had been looking for matching (wedding) bands - celtic knot style.  The difficulty was because he has such large fingers (and mine aren't too small either) - so finding ones in our sizes that matched proved to be a challenge.  However, yesterday at the Faire we managed to find matching bands in both sizes for under $30 each, so we got them!  I was going to get a small token to represent my 33 lb loss, however finding the bands (after looking for more than 3 years) was a bit more important.  We didn't know when this would happen again.  I figured I can wait til next month as I may have hit the "40 lb loss" mark at that point, and just get a small token for that.

I go to my doctor today for a follow up appointment and don't you know it my weight bounced back into the 380's - DAMN*.  I really don't remember WHY I'm going.  (LOL)  He had me take the antibodies test (blood) last time and I never got the results back, so makes me wonder if something came up?  I found some information online showing that the guidelines to the TSH tests (thyroid) had changed, making my results now in the abnormal range, instead of normal.  If you have a 1-2 reading, you are normal (the old guideline was 1-4).  Anything over is now considered "abnormal" and if I recall correctly, mine was a 3.2.  Thanks to my sister for that bit of information.

I got my referral for the nutritionist last week and finally got through to the person at the office and made the appointment.  I go on April 12th at 3:30 PM.  I am hoping that s/he can help 'tweak' what I'm doing, maybe point out some things that maybe I'm doing wrong and missing, etc.

Not much else going on.  Wes has to go in about 30 minutes to go get Becka from school and then need to take showers to get ready to go around 3/3:15 for the appointment.  (It's only about a 15 minute drive from the house.)  Hope you all have a great day.  Take care and ::hugs::
