Happy Spring / Ostara

Today is officially spring.  Here in Las Vegas it’s a little overcast, but it’s been a beautiful spring week all week!  The wind has been blowing off and on and it’s been clear and warm.  Warm enough that I even got to wear my denim Capri pants (after shaving my legs).  It’s been wonderful!  We even have been able to keep the windows open!  I love spring and fall here in Vegas because of weather like this.  It’s the summers that are hard!

Baby slings have been around for a while. I don’t know if they were around when my boys were babies or not, but I didn’t know about them. I wish I had. They look so nice and comfy! I know my boys would have loved them because they loved being carried around as much as I could as it was.  They didn’t have slings when I was a baby either, but my mom made her own for me,  with a silk scarf.  She loved it because she could tie me to her body and do all her house cleaning or shopping without having to worry about me.  That’s why so many moms love using them.  They are convienient and comfortable for both mom and baby.   So when I heard about the CPSC giving out a warning against baby slings and all the news coverage of the baby’s deaths, I knew I had to learn more about them and what was going on.

My Health:

So, After I was diagnosed with gallstones I stopped eating so much fat.  I ended up losing 15 lbs in almost as many days.  Then over the holidays, I didn’t stick to my diet and I gained 5 lbs back.  Well since New years, I’ve stuck to my diet much better and have lost 7 lbs so far.  I”m feeling really good, even cute!  So this whole “eating right” thing is working pretty nicely for me.

If you follow me at all on Twitter or Facebook you’ll already know a little bit about what’s been going on this week. It started Saturday with what I thought was just a gas bubble under my ribs. I went to be with a lot of pain, but expecting it to be gone in the morning. It didn’t go away. It did get worse though. By Monday I was in enough pain that I went to the Dr. He said it was my gall bladder and that I’d probably need it removed right away. He wanted me to get an ultrasound, took some blood tests and some x-rays and told me to go directly to the ER if things got worse. Well, they did. I went to the ER yesterday and got the ultrasound, took more blood tests, more x-rays and they came back with a diagnosis of “Gallstones”. They said that my gall bladder isn’t infected so there’s no rush to have it removed, but it won’t really get better either. I”m supposed to watch what I eat and talk to a surgeon about getting my gall bladder removed. Read the rest of this entry »
