Baby Bubble Hour!

Today, we decided to try out Baby Bubble Hour at the on post pool, and it was amazing!  There was a lady teaching, and he did so good!  She had them float on their backs for awhile, and other babies freaked out but he was completely relaxed.  And she even had us put him under the water!  He never cried, he loved it!  So proud of him!  We've decided its going to be an every Saturday morning event for us, because we want him to be a little fish.  If his genetic testing comes back positive for Ehlers-Danlos, then swimming will be one of the best things for him.





I can't wait for next weekend!  And yes, I did go swimming too, I did the first half of the class with them, and then Brandon told me to take pics.
On another note, yesterday I had just a regular doctor appointment and it was with a new primary care doctor.  As he was going over my records and examining me, he started asking some questions, and most of my answers were yes.  He is pretty sure I have Reynauds Disease on top of everything else..oh yay!  It pretty much just means that my body can't process temperature changes correctly and we can't live anywhere really cold because if something happend and I got stranded outside, it could be very dangerous.  He's putting me on some medicines to see if it helps with my discolored feet and how frigid they are all the time.  If it does, then he is going to say I definately have it and I'll stay on that meds.  Brandon always said my feet are like ice blocks in the bed, had no idea it was an actual issue!
I think swimmng time wore Micah out..he's been napping for 3 hours..time to wake up my little swimmer!

Wow its been forever...

Sorry its been....like forever and a day since I posted!! We went on vacation to Alabama, and while I was there I started feeling awful and found out I had gallstones and needed my gallbladder out.  So I flew down to Florida so I could have surgery there and my family could take care of Micah, and we spent 7 weeks there.  I also had the joy of getting my appendix taken out at the same time too!  While we were there, Shannon took Micah's baby pics..here are some of my favorites
I pretty much love them all!
Yesterday was Micah's doctors appointment with the geneticist..it went ok I guess.  The doctor wants to do genetic testing on Micah and it will take like 3 months to get the results!  The main issue was I wasn't impressed with the doctor.  He seemed like he was in his own world the whole time, he wouldn't even listen to me when I tried to tell him about my diagnosis or what is wrong with me.  He only cared about talking about the geneticist I've seen in the past and how good friends he is with them.  Unfortunately this is the ONLY one around here, and he's not even from around here!  He's from Galveston, and travels here to see patients one day a month.  Next Thursday, we have the appointment with Early Childhood Intervention occupational and speech therapists to see if they think he needs to have therapy.  We will see!
So far, no news on when we will be able to move out of the desert.  I'm hoping soon, because I have been incredibly unimpressed by all the doctors here except my ob/gyn.  But we're trying to remain patient!
OH Micah's new absolute favorite thing...is roaring!  He does it all the time and just thinks he's sooo funny and laughs after he roars.  He also loves watching the dogs rough house, he'll just giggle as they play. 
One last adorable picture...
