Surgery and Skittle Update

I apologize for the formatting issues on my blog lately. I have to type it on my desktop computer and publish from my iPad. For some odd reason, I can't do both on the desktop. I get a java error every time...so, until I figure out what's up, my blog will have issues...sorry about that.

The septum surgery was a success. Really, I was in very little pain/discomfort (just some cramping to be expected). It was the anesthesia that made me feel yucky. I am a rare one who needs more then the average person to be put under. My body fights it and I just feel "off" for several days following procedures that require sedation. And, other than a blasted cold that I contracted right after the surgery, I feel good. I go in for my biopsy in a couple days (something I'm SOOO NOT looking forward to) and will report back on that later.

PIO sucks. I am so not kidding. Why has no one made a better version of progesterone yet?? WHY? Seriously! Either I have to leak nastiness all day from a vaginal suppository or take injections in my butt day after day...When I told DH about doing PIO again, I got 40 no's in ranging tones followed by 10 more no's with a sad face. Hello!? I'm the one who has to endure the monster needle!! All he has to do it jab it in my muscle-and push with all his might to get that stupid oil out of the syringe and into me. I've only been on it for a little over a week and I'm already bruised on both sides, with a large knot and itchiness on my right. You'd think that if I was having an allergic reaction that I'd have the itchies on both sides...humm...

Little Skittle is now 15 months old and such a happy kid! She amuses me...she really does. I find myself just watching her play or watching her read to herself in Chinese and I just smile. She's MY kid! She's talking up a storm these days. It really does sound like Chinese with English words thrown in and it makes me giggle. She had her check up a couple days ago and she's had a growth spurt! She's now 31 1/2 inches tall (78% percentile) and 19 lbs 6 oz (5% percentile). Tall and skinny-just like her auntie!

I was trying to think of some other "firsts" for her...but the only one I could think of is: a black eye. Yep, she got her first shiner over Thanksgiving weekend. She now tries to repeat most words she hears and my personal favorites are "Allie" and "Oliver"-her aunt and uncle's dogs! If she steps over something she says, "over" and just today I didn't change her diaper before putting her down for a nap-well, she reminded me saying, "diaper" over and over! Go Skittle go!
