Test results

Well all my tests are back and here what I see from them.  I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and am hypothyroid.  My estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone are all low, but testosterone is within range just on the low side.  DHEA's are low-normal and cortisol shows low adrenal reserve.  So at least all this explains why I have to fight SO hard to lose any weight, why I am tired with very little motivation, and generally just feel blah.  I am hopeful that when I talk with the Dr. on Wednesday she will have some ideas/ prescription whatever that will bring me back to the go go go girl I used to be.   Wish me luck!

I am already eating a good diet (the majority of the time), taking my vitamins, eating organic foods for the most part, and exercising so I should be off to a good start.

Growing up

I bought the boys a gingerbread house again.  I wasn't sure if they would do it or not.  Ethan decorated it really quick.  Tucker didn't even help.  I think this is probably the last year for the gingerbread house.  I also received a lot of crap because it was pre-built.  I didn't read the box.  I always get it at Costco.

Meeting Cooper

Hunter and Cooper side by side

Awesome snow fort

 I loved that our shadowed showed up in this picture. 

The boys have been working on a fort and their friends came over today and they got a ton done.  It is huge.

Another nephew on his way

Laura and Sean are at the hospital.  She checked in this morning to be induced.  Can't wait to see the sweet baby boy.

Winter Fun

 The boys built a big tunnel around the trampoline.  It was about  20 feet long.  Part of it caved in this weekend, but the boys worked on it a bit last night.

 My tilting tree!  Tucker decorated it again this year.

 Bryan comes and cleans out the driveway for us.  Super quick.

Pretty!!

Winter Wonderland

It has been snowing all day.  Everything is SO white.  Sadly I think we are going to have to get on the roof and shovel if this keeps up.  I had a fun time using the snowblower and shoveling tonight.  The boys offered to help, but sometime I just enjoy it.
