2 month Doctors appointment

DJ is doing pretty well.  He is 22 in long (45%), yeah! However, he is only 9 lbs 5 oz, which means he has dropped from the 41% to the 2%.  The doctor thinks he has a lactose tolerance issue, which means I am giving up all dairy.  No cheese or yogurt.  He also has me giving up onions, garlic, and spicy food.  We go back to the doctor in 10 days and if he hasn't been gaining weight by then we will start supplementing with formula.

He also got his shots today.  Poor baby, they gave him a oral vaccine that the nurse said was really sweet, he loved it.  So my poor sweet baby was smiling at me and happy, then the mean nurse stuck him.  He gave me the saddest look of betrayal and then screamed.  I'll admit I teared a little too.  The poor kid has been either asleep or screaming since.  His poor little legs are so sore and I can't tell him why it hurts, or even explain that if he stops kicking so much it wont hurt so bad.  I don't like my baby hurting :(

Uh oh, looks like little man is waking up.  I'm gonna go cuddle with my baby.

Thats right I'm Crafty!!

I'm so proud of myself.  I actually made one of those baby carrier covers for DJ.  I didn't think about having one until I'd been to Church once with just the Moby, and my back killed me for two days after.  Then last Sunday I tried to improvise with a blanket over the carrier, then of course I couldn't carry it with the blanket.  So I looked up a pattern and made one! Yup I rock!

We had a lot of miracles this year (me finding a job so fast and David being able to work extra hours all summer, to name just two) but DJ is our greatest.  I can't get over how blessed we were.  The fact that our doctor took the time to double check the ultrasound and decided to do a C-section.  Or that we were in a small enough hospital that DJ was the only baby on the floor when his oxygen tanked, if he hadn't been it might have taken much longer to notice that he was not doing well (the nurse just noticed a slight ashy tint and decided to check him) and he could have had a lot more problems.  Also that we were in a small enough hospital that I was able to stay on the floor in a room with him after I was discharged, not having to sleep on the nursery couch or drive back and forth every day really made a huge difference.  I am so grateful to have him home and healthy, it actually makes it so that I don't get frustrated with the screaming as fast because I am just so grateful that his lungs are working well enough for him to scream at all.  Thank you again for all the prayers and love.  God has truly blessed us with amazing family and friends
