Checking in with the doc

So this morning I had my yearly physical with my doctor. I actually look forward to these appointments...weird, probably :). I had blood work done last week and had that information/results shared with me today as well as the other check-up'y stuff. Turns out I am Vitamin D deficient. Whoops. Apparently that's a pretty important vitamin for bones and such....so hook me up with some supplements, I guess! Apparently my pre-natal multivitamin doesn't have a whole lot of Vitamin D (just 400mg) and I need to take 1000mg more per day to get the levels up to a better place. Yahoo ;).

In all other areas, looks like I am healthy. I am very thankful for that. Apparently my "good" cholesterol is still really high...thank you, running! :)

It's now been 21 months of gluten free living...and I am doing great. THANKS, in huge part, to this doctor who was the one who got to the bottom of all of my issues.

He did "remind" me today that "pregnancy is easier on younger women"...and even said "that's how God designed our bodies." Sigh....I know, I know ;). I don't exactly have all of the time in the world to "put off" starting a family...but I am just not ready...yet.

September 22 is our third anniversary...we were talking about the other day how we had said after three years we would start to "entertain ideas" about starting our family. Well...honestly...we're really not there yet :). Right now, there are way too many things up in the air...including the fact that Jeremy just applied for a new job...near Nashville. Oh dear me...So, life could change significantly in the next few months. We'll see.

I try not to think about the possibility of moving TOO much...but I'd be lying if I said it didn't come to the forefront of my mind multiple times a day. I really hope we stick around Bloomington...but we did make a commitment to do what is best for Jeremy's career before we got married, and I do need to stand by that. I just hope that it ends up that being HERE is best for him/us....

Anyway...

I stopped home for some oatmeal, music (good for my mental health ;)), and vitamins (forgot to take them and didn't eat much breakfast on my way out), and am heading to work in a few minutes to see my 11:00 kiddo. Confident that today will be a good day. I've been working my tail off lately, and it paid off...this morning before my doctor appointment, I got my LAST report (for now!! ;)) finished up. It feels great!

Have a great day, all!

Be joyful :)
