Thyroid, thirty, and tinsel.

To say the last few weeks have been intense would be the understatement of the year. I’m beginning to come back out of a depressive episode (finally) and I’m cutting it close to Christmas. However, it’s been a period of progress. I have been pestering my doctors, meeting new medical staff, and trying to rule out every possibility for why I’m not moving forward.

Turns out my blood count is low, and my thyroid is under active. Finally there may be an answer for why I am SO EXHAUSTED. My ability to sleep for twenty hours might be more about my body running low on resources, instead of running low on sanity. The downside is it will be another three or more months of testing before anything is done so I won’t be celebrating just yet.

One thing we did celebrate this week was Mr Robinson’s thirtieth birthday. We were lucky to be able to spend time over the last few weeks with family, friends and food. We had a night out without the baby! Overall it was fun but exhausting. We had to come to terms with the knowledge that being a parent doesn’t allow much time for late nights or hangovers.

So now we’ve got all that stuff out of the way, the Robinson household now has a tree!
