Dr's appointment with an infant

Well...it was interesting. She did just what I thought she would...she made us miserable. LOL. She screamed the entire time...the whole time. Then before we even got out of the building AFTER my appointment...she fell asleep.
This kid here...

But you will be happy to know that I have a healthy heart...and I do not have low blood sugar issues. That was nice to find out. However...I have what is called Orthostatic Hypotension. WHAT?! Apparently that is what has been causing all my issues and a lot of the symptoms resemble hypoglycemia. My dr said it sometimes occurs from your body not having enough sodium. He said to either find a way to add more sodium to my diet or to start taking salt tabs. BLEH! I wonder if salt tabs actually taste like salt...do you know? Because that sounds awful.

So the thanksgiving programs are tomorrow. The kids are so excited they cannot stand it. Christian's sounds like it is going to be really cute. Lily hasn't said much about hers. She did say they made costumes. But that's it...

That face! I swear she is just so freaking cute!
We are working on structured nap times...it is hell. Absolute hell. She usually sleeps after the gym so I am working on moving her morning nap to 11. That way I know we are home and I can lay her down at 11 to nap. The one we've actually succeeded on is her 330 nap time. We are always home by 330. Today I laid her down and she cried until 345, but then she fell asleep and slept until almost 430. I believe she would have slept longer but the kids accidentally woke her up. I am debating on her evening nap. Because...she slept all night last night and she skipped her evening nap. But she took her evening nap tonight so we'll see if she sleeps all night tonight.
Its amazing how well I can sleep when I don't have her all curled up in my chest.

O so get this. Brittany called me today. She says they aren't sure they are staying home for Thanksgiving now. Which is fine...not really that big of a deal. I mean it doesn't give me a whole lot of time to plan anything for me and the kids. But then she adds in that they will probably come up here and don't really feel like having Thanksgiving with their families. So they'll just come have it here. Once again...not a big deal...if I had more time to plan something. That is a lot of stress and grocery shopping that I did not plan for. So now I have no idea what I am going to do.

Well I hope you have a great day! I love you! I hope I get to talk to you soon. Goodnight.
