What a week of ups and downs!
This past week has been a rollercoaster of emotions!
Last Wednesday I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer- I'm going to have to have surgery to remove my thyroid in the next month, and possibly radioactive iodine treatment to kill off any other cells and I'll have to stop breastfeeding and have to stay away from my baby for 10 days. I really hope I don't have to get the iodine treatment!
We had our first PP sex- not so bad! Yay!
Immediately followed by my PP period.... BOO!
We celebrated our 3 year anniversary with our first date night post-baby. It was wonderful to get dressed up and go out!
And most importantly- baby boy is starting to have 5-6 hr stretches of sleep at night! YAY!!!!

Oh my...I'm so sorry about your diagnosis. I hope you only require the surgery.
Yay for the sleeping!
Just wanted to chime in on the thyroid thing -- every female n my family for at least the last 4 generations has had problems with their thyroid, so I am very familiar with this. Luckily all but 1 have avoided surgery. My mom had the radioactive iodine and had to sleep on the couch for 10 days since they didn?t want her that close to my dad for that long. She also had to avoid all babies and elderly people. It did help, but I know that she has been taking a kelp supplement from GNC that has helped get everything back to normal. I am not even close to being a Dr, but you may want to do so research to see if it would help in your situation, since I know it has worked well for her!
GL!
