I saw a new doctor a couple of weeks ago for my thyroid. He came highly recommended by a friend, and I REALLY like him. I think he's going to be instrumental in helping us get pregnant and stay pregnant along with Dr. Stroud. The only thing is that he's down near the Kentucky border, so that's like a 2 1/2 hour drive south to see him, and a 2 1/2 hour drive north to see Dr. Stroud. Lol Why do these great doctors have to be so far? Anyway, he's just across the river from Louisville, and the Louisville zoo is pretty cool, so we now have a membership there (it was about $45 for me and both girls to go for one day, or about $100 for a membership - if we're going to be down there more than twice in a year, it'll pay for itself...and I already have my first follow-up appointment in a couple weeks). Meanwhile, Bella started summer school last week, so now I literally have NO time for my journal, prayers, or reading the Bible like I was. Hubby gets up at 5 to get ready for work, and he leaves at 6. Bella wakes up at 6, and we leave at 6:30. I drive her to school, come back, and maybe have a few minutes alone before Emma wakes up, but not usually much more than a few minutes. By the time I finally get everyone to bed at night, I'm too exhausted to even think about anything by my pillow. On top of that, our church had its big Italian Festival this last weekend, and the prep for it the whole week before, so I haven't been able to go to adoration since the week before that, and won't be able to again until July. :'-( I'm considering getting up at 4:30 to have some quiet, alone time, but I don't want to wake hubby up, and I'm not sure how to manage getting up that early without an alarm. I can tell a big difference (in a negative way) in how I feel emotionally and spiritually since I haven't been able to do everything I had been doing (prayer-wise). I'm much less patient, I feel more snappish, and usually feel like crying (although it's just deep enough below the surface that I never do). In short, I'm living an introvert nightmare. Lol And there's no end in sight. We leave for Disney World in exactly 1 week, and I'll have even less alone and quiet time there (if that's possible). Then, when we get back, it's back to summer school until about a month from now (actually...exactly a month from now), which is also the end of our half of the summer with Bella. The bright side is that after that, things will be back to normal, I can set my alarm for 6 or 6:30 everyday like I was, and have HOURS of quiet, alone time instead of the seconds or minutes I have now. :-D I just hope I can last a full month with my sanity in tact... Please pray for me!
God Bless! Dana
