Update on me
1. I finally had my stress echo yesterday, and my heart is perfectly fine. The cardiologist said that leaves a diagnosis of vasovagal syncope. Apparently my low blood pressure leaves me more prone to it (like, for me to drop from 90 to 60 is more drastic than for someone to drop from 130 to 100), but not enough to treat it with medication. I was just told to watch my electrolytes and sodium. I ran for the first time in six weeks this morning, oh how I missed it! I was feeling really down on myself but feel better already.
2. I had a talk with H after my baby fever meltdown a couple weeks ago, and he reassured me that he does still want another baby (which is something I had been doubting), and not only is he worried about my stress, but he's also worried about the stress it will add for him since we've already decided that I will stop working after our next baby. (Not that my two-days-a-week salary contributes much, but it does provide a nice cushion.) I don't know why he didn't mention that little tidbit when we talked about it last, but I feel better knowing it now. Plus later that weekend he was so cute with our friends' young toddler and said she makes him want another one. Way to tug at my heartstrings, buddy.
3. My sister is almost in her second trimester! I am so excited for her...and me. 
Re: Update on me
These are all good things! I'm really glad everything's okay with your heart. I had to stop running for a while, and it suuuuucked. I was grumpy and angry all the time. And yay re: baby fever!
YAY!
All good things!
yay - i'm happy to read all of this.
question - who is baby sloane. is that your neice on your H's side? or is that dude your brother (b/c he looks a lot like you). if yes, i just didn't realize that you had a brother. i thought it was just you and your sisters.
This is excellent news on all counts.
I'm glad there is nothing wrong with your heart - did you have to forgo the BSR this year because of this stuff? (it's this weekend, right?)
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
It's next weekend, and most likely I won't run just because I'm still a little afraid, to be honest. H will still run, and I could run with him, but since we've been having babysitter tension it might be better if I just stayed home anyway.
lol. yes, I have an older brother who could be my twin, and it's his baby. I talk about my sisters a lot more, I know, but I am close with him too.
Ditto.
Welcome to eating ALL THE SODIUM YOU WANT
It really does make me feel better. And so do electrolytes. Gatorade and french fries.
Nothing like Gatorade to start your day!
