Wow, apparently I've really not been on top of things! In the attempt to avoid having nothing to post, I've posted nothing. Which is disappointing really because Lydia is hysterical, getting more so everyday. In fact just tonight she informs me "I'm pretty funny mommy" and shortly after that gave me a time out because "that's not okay" - although I'm not sure what I did that wasn't ok yet. At least I know she listens! When her daddy left to go snowmobiling, and she was informed that he was on a trip, she tells me that "we should follow him" and that she is going on a trip too. This is in between breaking into any variety of songs on a regular basis. She serenades us quite enthusiastically. She has been literally jumping in to swimming - loving her weekly "lessons" with Teacher Jo and the boys. Which also translates in an interesting way to bath time - with dunks and back floats and swimming all over the tub. Look out Min-aqua-bats, here she comes this summer!
Christmas was magical for her, which made it that much more magical for us. The ooooh's and aaaah's and Merry Christmas and Happy New Yr Mommy were priceless. She was very excited about both Santa Claus and Baby Jesus's birthday - mixing a Happy Birthday in with a few Jingle Bells and Deck the Halls. I think the best was her pure delight in seeing the lights go on the tree every day, and the beautiful angel on top which was captivating for her. She loved opening cards and seeing all the pictures almost as much as opening presents. And thankfully so far she loves giving as much as receiving.
As for an update on the Asherman's front - the last several months have been multiple rounds of roughly the same processes. Medications, followed by hormones, followed by lining checks/imaging, followed by injections - there have been some variations along the way but all attempts to do something helpful especially with a lining that has somewhat recovered, but hasn't seemed to want to completely normalize. Basically all the "bald" spots have filled in, but the overall thickness doesn't seem to increase. Apparently my lining likes to maintain itself in the mid-5 mm range. Dr. Olive has a new option each time so we're working on it. Unfortunately some treatments I need counteract others, which leads to an interesting push-pull of timing and medications, but overall I have been telling myself at least we still have options.
In the quiet of the house, with the dog laying on my feet and the fireplace going tonight, I am thinking of all the wonderful people in our lives. The support and love from everyone around us on even a daily basis is amazing really, and I don't think we (or others even) take the time to appreciate it enough. So on this eve after Christmas - I wish a Merry Merry to all, a blessed 2013 and many thanks!
