Friday Quick Takes

1 - Our apartment is empty, save for one closet of things going with Snicks in our car and one closet of things that Addie and I will bring on the plane. In a week we will be settling into our new home in Colorado. Wow. I have been running on adrenaline and I think I am starting to crash.

2 - My boss just came in and informed me that I need to work next Tuesday night. They have never asked this of the gift officers before so I am trying to be compliant (I think we are calling alums for an end of the fiscal year push). However, Snicks leaves on Tuesday morning and Addie can only stay at daycare until 6pm. feel so grateful that 99% of the time I am not a "solo" mom. My heart goes out to those who grapple with such issues on a regular basis.

3 - My sister, "Boogs" (because she IS a booger, not because she ever ate them - I promised I wouldn't tell), had a bloodtest last week to check her hormones because they suspect PCOS. She spotted for ten days, then had a heavy flow for four days, "normal" flow for a day, and then brown spotting for two days. On the third day of heavy bleeding is when she had the labs done. Here are the results: glucose (fasting) = 78, FSH = 4.7, LH = 5.9. Any thoughts on this? Her doctor said "you're fine" but so much spotting seems unusual.

4 - I am currently b'feeding Addie in my office. Yep. Remedy for meltdown (see #1) is to invite DH to drop off daughter for a feeding. Kind of frowned upon here, but it is just the secretaries and me in our suite today. LOL

5 - Snicks and I had a date night the other day. Well, it was more of a moving prep night together but it was just the two of us. It felt so strange but good.

6 - Addie hits the 6 month mark on Sunday. Here's a picture that I took with my camera phone the other day. I think it's sweet, just like her.

7 - Seven more days in Ohio!!!!!!!!
