On that day, Sweetheart and I went to an appointment to learn more about my hormones and clotting factors and why we had been miscarrying. We learned that I have a missing marker called C677T which means that I don't have the enzyme takes inactive folic acid and makes it active folic acid. It's called a mutation. I don't think I'll qualify to be one of the X-Men though.
I inherited one good copy and one bad copy that’s called “heterozygous C677T.” Some of the consequence are multiple pregnancy loss, clotting issues, and cardiac problems. This is an article that gives a good explanation. We learned that some of my hormones are low because of age. The possibility for a full term pregnancy is low. There is always a chance, but it is still low. It's an answer. Now to work through the emotion instead of trying to go around the emotion together as a couple.
Underfoot stayed home on Tuesday because he was still coughing quite a bit. I went one day to volunteer and a little boy in the class was coughing a lot. The teacher was doing her best to stay healthy and avoid the spray of germs. I wanted Underfoot to be better before sending him back.
A specialist came to repair an teach Sweetheart about the pianola and tune the piano again. We learned that the pianola was slow and needed to be repaired. We learned that between the 1/2 note piano keys there is a unit of measure called 100 cents. It is to say how flat or sharp a note is. The whole piano was 40 cents flat. He tuned the piano a little sharp since the strings will relax a little bit.
Sweetheart attended an HOA Board Meeting and walked out as the President of the board. I think it will be for a year.
Underfoot started the orchestra at the school he is attending. He will do both orchestras - public school and charter school - since he made a commitment. He's excited.
On Saturday, the boys set up chairs for a stake conference that was happening. They played a basketball game and had team pictures taken as well. The game didn't go well. There was a lot of double teaming toward the boys' team. Underfoot really struggled with what he thought was unfair referring.
Sweetheart attended a fireside in the evening for the youth that President Ballard, Elder Rasband, and Elder Soares. One thing that was taught that we should put our phones down and have conversations with each other.
Be Well.

I'm glad you found out more about why the miscarriages are happening. Sorry that you have been dealing with that so long. That's so interesting about the missing marker. I wonder if my grandmother had that. She miscarried several times in between my uncle and my mom. Then she adopted her third and last child. She just had her 90th birthday a few days ago! So much goes into a healthy pregnancy. I still take folic acid as a precaution against spina bifida. I have always wondered what was getting in the way of the folic acid with my first pregnancy.
