My goals for 2014

Yesterdays Dr appointment went well. I am now on metformin, hope this helps even if I am not as insulin resistant as they would like for that med. I will take anything that will put my hormones into some normalcy. Talking with Dr, I really need to just focus on myself. Making sure I stay healthy.

I am grateful that I have been mostly headache free for the last month. I am grateful for a supportive husband. I am grateful that while my disease could be a lot worse, I seem to have a much easier time than most. I am grateful for a loving family that understands what I am going through and willing to help. There may have been some tough spots through which I have gone with some of my family, but they are there and supportive.

So my focus for 2014, get healthier and stay healthy. I am going to focus on me. No getting on myself because I didn’t lose weight that week. I will accept the mistakes and set backs, and eat healthy no matter what. Even if it doesn’t show on the scale. While wanting to be a mommy is my ultimate goal and dream, I need to really accept that this moment doesn’t seem to be the right one.

I have recontacted the foster agency, Children’s Bureau. I am hoping that we can go back to the training to become foster/adopt parents. We were planning on doing that at some point, it just may be that we do this first, and have baby later. There are so many wonderful children out there that need loving families. Believe it or not, in the Los Angeles area there are a lot of newborns in need of families. We may not get to keep them, and get our forever baby, but along the way we get to love children who have family that can’t at that moment, and we are involved in a process that creates safe, permanent homes for them.

Let me encourage you to look into Fostering wether or not you are already parents, have grown children, or aren't parents yet. There are so many children who need a loving, supportive home with strong role models.
