Before I start talking about doctors, let's talk about the happy stuff! Yesterday was the most amazing day ever, Micah didn't cry once until after 1pm! Everytime he woke up, he would just lay there and coo and talk to me. He was such a happy baby! It was so great!! We are starting to settle into a nice routine and I think it helps. And last night, he slept for over 5 hours straight! So amazing!
And on happy Mommy news, I lost another 2 and half pounds! My weight loss had stopped for a little bit, and it was really frustrating me. But I think I had lost so much weight so quickly that my body went into panic mode and stopped for a bit. My body had to balance out again. So I'm happy to see the weightloss happening again! We are going shopping this weekend for some cheap cute clothes because I don't want to wear maternity clothes anymore, and they are hanging off me anyway. I don't have a lot of clothes from prepregnancy, so I just need some clothes to fill in as I hopefully continue to lose weight. I keep reading about how people have an insatiable hunger while breastfeeding, but I'm somehow missing that. Same thing while I was pregnant. I'm actually really struggling to make sure I eat enough calories everyday. I am never hungry, and being busy with Micah, it's a struggle to remember to eat. I wish I would be hungry, so then I could at least remember easier, instead of getting incredibly light headed and be like oops..forgot to snack again. And I know I need to eat to keep up my weight loss, especially with our daily walks.
Sorry it's a little blurry...hard to take pics by yourself.
So more doctors..I got a call from Micah's pediatrician today saying they got the ok from insurance and they're sent all the referral stuff off for Micah to see the geneticist. El Paso doesn't actually have a geneticist, the closest one is like 6 hours away, but they do have a pediatric geneticist that comes to town once a month for appointments, and our pediatrician wants us to go see him, so we can know if Micah seems to have Ehlers-Danlos or not. He also wants more information on what he needs to look out for with Micah and such. It makes me nervous. It's not a shock, I knew he would have to go see these doctors but it's still nerve wracking. I just want him to be perfectly healthy, no Ehlers-Danlos, but we will see. It's probably going to be awhile before we get in to see the doctor. I called today and left a message asking to make an appointment, but I haven't heard back yet. Since he only comes once a month, I'm guessing it will be a couple of months before he gets in. I would love to get in soon and get it over with, but it'll probably be after we get back from Florida. Which is probably best anyway, because I want Brandon to be able to go to the appointment, and his work is crazy right now. Anyway, I'll keep everyone updated on when we get an appointment and such..and one last cute picture..
