Hey everyone, I haven't been here for a while. I hope you are all doing well! To update on importantish stuff, at my last doc appt my blood pressure was way down! From 160/90 to 124/78. Seems my medication is working, I've also been taking kuzu (or kudzu, kuzu is the Japanese word for it) root for a few months. You can take it in capsules, but I've been just eating the little chunks of it in starch form. It's curbed my appetite for my other pica items (cornstarch, baking soda, pumice etc). So somehow I don't feel so weird now. If you didn't know I had pica before? Well, there you go. Ever since I was pregnant with Holden pica has been a part of my life.
We had a good Christmas, Holden got this awesome lego set that you can program to make different robots and cars and animals and stuff. He and Josh have been having a lot of fun with that. I love seeing the two of them play and work together, it makes me so happy.
Zander puppy hates the snow, no matter how many sweaters we put on him. Thank goodness for puppy pads and the fact that he's a small dog.
Love you all! If you are on FB, you can find me there (Jennifer Cooper Newton), especially if you play lexulous. <3
