I AM BACK!!!

This has officially been the longest blog drought ever. I am going to do my best to sum up what I have been up to. This will fill you in and then hopefully I will be better about sticking to it.

Keep this next part a secret. Harldy anyone reads this so I am not to worried about it getting around. In July, Ben and I decided we wanted to try to have a baby. We were super excited and it has pretty much been all I can think about. We were unsuccessful in our effort obviously.

In August, I was diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma which is a form of thyroid cancer. I went to my yearly physical and my primary care noticed a nodule on my thyroid gland in my neck. Baby making had to be put on hold :( This was somewhat devestating for me. I realize it is over dramatic but now that 5 months have passed I feel the need for a baby all the more.

In September, I underwent surgery to remove my thyroid. The recovery process was difficult but not unbearable. For those that don't know, your thyroid controls your body temperature, energy levels, appetite, and metabolism. I am now on medication that takes the place of my thyroid. While it has taken time to get regulated on the correct dose of medication I should be leveling out this month. Pray for good results from my lab this week. The great thing about all of this, is that it was caught really early and I am now cancer free.

The surgery set me back quite a bit because I had just started a new nanny job and was in school full time. It has been torturous trying to survive these last few months. I have been exhausted beyond belief and have had to fight against my body to maintain my life. Fortunately, next week is my last week of the semester and I can say I survived it.

The best news... once my medication levels out with my system, Ben and I can go back to our original plan from July... A baby. Lets hope we have no more emergencies.

Now you know why I have been so consumed with other things. I'll try to keep you in the loop here on out.
