I had to start a new, fresh blog. The email I registered with was just confusing. It was a yahoo email that was being used to sign into google with. I kept forgetting the password and having to reset it and it just got old. So here I am with a new blogging account. Lets see if I can keep up with this one.
Currently, I am waiting on a referral to a cardiologist. 2 weeks back when I was on my lunch at work, I started having heart palpitations. I had them once before a few months ago (again while I was at work). I could feel my heart start to pound in my chest (like the pounding you get with the adrenaline rush of riding a roller coaster or when something scares you) and in my neck. The first time it didn't really hurt and only lasted 5-10 minutes. I was just standing at the registers, talking with a customer when it started. It worried me a little, but I decided to see if it would happen again before really worrying. Well the second time started after I had just finished my lunch and was sitting at the table in the break room. My heart was beating so hard I could see the name tag on my shirt bounce and feel my racing pulse in my neck. Sometimes it did hurt a little so I said to myself I will make an appointment the next day. Well 40 minutes later, it was still going on so I left work early and headed straight to the closest ER. Of course by the time they got me back (which was 1 hour after the palpitations had started, but maybe 10 minutes after I checked in) they stopped. The nurse still hooked me up to an EKG and that came out fine. Long story short, everything looked fine to them and I just told them I will make a follow up with my primary doctor. I went this last Tuesday and it could be a number of things. She ran a few tests to check on somethings, I'm probably calling tomorrow just to be sure they all came back ok (with military healthcare, its a "no news is good news" deal, but I've had friends who's tests came back with something positive and they were never informed until they went in for something else). I'm thinking its part of the anxiety they say I might have (should probably get a diagnosis on that). She gave me the referral to cardiology and I'm going to meet with them just to make sure there isn't anything physically wrong with me before I move on to the mental issues.
In other news, in just 13 days my baby girl will be 3...THREE?!? Agh where has the time gone? Money is a stressful issue at the moment, I've had a few mental breakdowns about not being able to buy her more presents. But she is getting a power wheels car from Adam's parents and I'm finally giving her the polly pocket type castle I bought at Disney World for her a few years ago. I'm hoping to pick up a few more clothes for her (just went through all her drawers and closet and this girl is down to the bare minimums now), but I know she'll get some from my parents. No big party this year, she doesn't really have any little friends. She goes to day care (which she absolutely LOVES now) but she's in hourly so its not always the same kids since its as needed for the parents. Adam is planning on re-enlisting again so we can move to a new duty station, hopefully once we get settled, I'll find some play groups or something for her. Sports and lessons will be a good start. I plan on starting her in soccer and maybe a dance or gymnastics class after her birthday. We'll see how that goes though.
I totally hear you on buying fewer birthday presents... Blake and I kept it simple this year and didn't spend much at all on Ferris because we just had a baby and had to buy both boys clothes. But I think as long as the kids love their presents and feel special on their day that's all that matters! I've seen so many kids get spoiled in presents and get overwhelmed or worse... expect a ton of gifts, and who wants that?! Plus, Christmas is around the corner. :)
