DH should be home relatively soon, but instead of being excited, I'm just super anxious.

I had my thyroid checked since thyroid issues run in my family on my dad's side. About half of his siblings are on one form of thyroid med or another.

Nope, my thyroid function is *great*! I suppose that would explain my recent weight loss????

I dunno. In the past month, I've lost 25 lb.s not really trying. For the past 4 months, I've just felt like crap on a stick all the time time. It's been over a year since I've really had a sex drive.

About 3 weeks ago, I bought my DH a car. His is slowly dying and no longer safe to drive, so he needed a newer one, and I also wanted him to have a nice welcome home surprise. Our credit was approved at a pretty good interest rate, I made a down payment, signed all the paperwork, and brought it home. It's been sitting in my garage ever since (i.e. hasn't been driven).

It's starting to upset me a little, because I get the distinct impression that he's going to want to throw away another large sum of cash we can't afford on a lawyer who's just going to take him for a ride again. One example is that we both need new cars. We have two that are paid off, and I can make mine work for probably another few years, but his is going to die any day now. Everytime we talk about a vehicle, he insists it has to be a "family" vehicle which is his way of saying SUV, van, mini-van, or extended cab/king cab truck.

I have never met a baby or heard of a baby who doesn't like cake! BabyDD just turned one; we were out of town at a family reunion during her b-day. My cousin bought DD1 a cake which was very sweet of her, but DD1 had already eaten a *ton* of food by the time the cake was brought out. When she only took one bite of it, I wasn't really suprised; I just figured she was full.
