Appointment Time

So today was appointment day and I'm sure you are all waiting to hear what's going on with my body, but I will make you wait a few minutes while I share with you how Claire's appointment went...So our sweet baby girl is four months old now, can you believe it!?! She can roll from her tummy to her back and from her back to her tummy. She loves to grab her toes and roll from side to side. She is getting very vocal (I'm hoping that she isn't going to be another 20 questions about everything kid like Curtis). She loves to grab her play keys and chomp/drool all over them. She has graduated from size 2 diapers to size 3, and she is starting to wear 6-9 month clothes! She's our big girl. Her appointment went well, and she weighs 16 1/2 lbs. and is 24 3/4 in. tall. We now have permission to start her on rice cereal, so we shall see what happens...Now for my news (drum roll please)...My blood work came out normal, but I have two small cysts on my thyroid (one on the left and one on the right). The one on the left is the size of a grain of rice and the one on the right is 1 1/2 cm. The good news is that they aren't cancerous and too small to do any kind of biopsy on. I do have to have another ultrasound in three months to see if they have shrunk, grown, or stayed the same. We are praying for them to shrink. The doctor was very sure that there is nothing to be concerned about, but she just wants to check to see what they are going to do. I can't tell you how relieved I am that 1) I don't have cancer, and 2) that I don't need to be on medication. What an answer to prayer! So thank you for praying, we really appreciate it.

On a side note, we still haven't heard the results of Kevin's bloodwork. His doctor's office is right next door to mine, so I went over there after my appointment to find out why we haven't heard anything yet. The doctor is on vacation this week and the receptionist couldn't find the medical assistant, so we have no idea what's going on with his lab results. I will keep you posted...
