Summer Days.. Drifting away..

WOW! I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last posted! Sorry all!

My hubby and I, along with my 14 yo brother went to visit my sister in California.

It was a wonderful trip, good to get away for a week, to see somewhere I've never seen before, and of course to get to spend time with my sister and her fiance.

Other than that, have been taking things easy, just working on the house (which seems to be a never ending project for me!?!?) spending time with family and friends - there are a lot of birthdays in the summer - so it's been nice!

I've been getting migraines a lot more frequently - I've actually had a migraine or headache for the last 6 days!!

My doctor is running some more blood tests to see if it's thyroid or hormone related..

the crappy part is that I can't take preventative medicine, which is probably what I need to do, because we are trying to get pregnant! That stuff is not approved to take with pregnancy.

SO... we'll see what the results say, and see if there is anything I can actually do about it.

It really makes getting myself out of bed and to work a difficult task some days. I don't like to drive in the bright sunshine even with my shades on when I have these headaches.
They're not incapacitating, but, at the very least, extremely distracting and persistant.

I have some really expensive medicine I take (until we get pregnant) which helps sometimes.

Anyway. that is that story....

I'm still going to see my stepaunt Leanne for the myofascial release once a week.

Although the immediate results are not always pleasant, the sessions are always therapeutic in some way. (our bodies react to the therapy different every time, sometimes good, sometimes not so good) But the trick is to let yourself FEEL whatever it is that is coming out of it. It's the bodies way of healing....

It is so neat the way our bodies and minds are interconnected - seriously - if you haven't ever read about this, you should.

So it's been very healing and I truly believe things are getting better on the inside too - physically and emotionally!

Some might think it sounds kinda wacky, but being a Christian person, I believe God made us amazing creatures!
Going through this whole experience has strengthened my belief in that even more!

So far, we haven't been able to get pregnant again, at this point. But we are continuing to try and seek guidance, patience, peace, and hold on to God's love.

I'll try and post more often. It's been a busy month! :)
