Doctors sure love us!

So the mom in me I guess decided at the first of the year that once a month until they were done Jon and I were going to have our annual checkups, whether it be for the doctor, dentist, whatever.

In February we went the dentist, found out that both Jon and I had more than one cavity. The day we were supposed to go get our fillings we ended up not going for one reason or another. Yes we still need to go get those fillings, honestly I feel as though we need a new dentist because I have had a tooth bothering me for about 2 years yet he says nothing is wrong. I just don't know how to find a good dentist. . . Oh well onto March

So I drug Jon to the doctor for a physical and boy am I glad we did. I went in first, the nurse walks in and asks me if I had any concerns. I asked her to check my thyroid because my family has a notoureous history of issues with their thyroids. She looks over my chart, looks up, and says, this explains your weight. (or it may have something to do with the fact that I just had a baby 6 months ago!) Well I guess the average person has a thyroid level of 2, well mine is 33. Which means that my brain is sending the chemicals but my thyroid does not know what to do with them and isn't working properly. Nothing a realitively cheap pill can't fix.
Then Jon came out with a perscription, now since he "didn't need to go to the doctor cause he was perfectly fine" I was shocked. We get out to the car and he thanked me for taking him in. That scared me even more. He proceeds to tell me that his tryglycerides are severly messed up, to the point that they asked him if he drank alot. He laughed and said that he had never drank. Well I guess when your tryglycerides are messed up your liver is what works trying to fix it. An average persons levels are 200, well Jon's is 1200. The doctor told him if he wanted to see McKenna get married he better take care of it. So we are both on medication now, I can tell a difference in mine some days, others not so much.

One a better note, we went in for McKenna's six month appointment, she was playing Peek-A-Boo with Dr. Witt, scooting around, laughing, just being herself. He informed me that she is very ahead of schedule and doesn't want us to come in at our nine month visit. YAY little Miss McKenna! Got her shots, barely cried. She is so amazing.

Things are great for us. Jon is taking the term off of school due to financial aid confusions but will be back again in June!
