Becky’s Nook

Apparently that was my Papa’s favourite saying. I’ve been saying it a lot lately. (my grandfather passed away back in 1999) I never  knew that was what he used to say. He never spoke much when we were around. He was a quiet man. But he and I are a lot alike. He ate nothing but meat and potatoes. I LOVE meat and potatoes. We’re both quiet people watchers, and we both say (said) Lord love a duck! Not sure why I started saying it, maybe Papa’s put it in my brain to remind me he’s still around. At least it’s better than Crapple (wink wink Trish!)

So Robbie turned Three on saturday. THREE! Where has the time gone? He’s huge! He’s the size of a kindergartener! I can’t believe he’s growing so fast. (well, i can, but LORD LOVE A DUCK! where’s the time gone?) We had a party for him on sunday. It was a Lightning McQueen theme. He got totally spoiled of course. Here’s some pics…. good times. good times.

or at least i should be. I had some blood work done on the 29th. I got a call today to come in asap. So i went in right away, and heard the usual schpeil about taking better care of my blood sugars yadda yadda. The main reason she wanted to see me is because i’m anemic. Normal hemoglobin is supposed to be 110, i’m at 86. At 75, they give you a blood transfusion. So i’m this close, |-| , to being like i was sucked dry by a vampire. My Iron count is so low, she wants to send me for iron injections, as well as supplements. OY VEY! No wonder i’ve been craving cows and leather (ok not really, leather, cow yes) And now wonder i’ve been so freaking tireded. So we’re doing tests and ultrasounds and such to figure out why i’m losing so much blood every month (yes, THAT monthly friend.) or if there’s some other reason i’m losing all my iron yadda yadda. I’ll keep you updated, as i have to have blood work done every week for the next couple of months. Wish me luck!
