Appointments

When Eric was 6 months old I asked my employer if I could have Wednesday afternoons off to spend time with him.  I have always enjoyed this time with him and now with Andrew too.  I am even more thankful for this time now.  I try to schedule Andrew's appointments on these days so I don't miss work.  I think it would have been difficult to have to ask for time off all the time.

With that being said, Andrew has 2 appointments tomorrow.  We're meeting with a dietician to see what she has to say about his slow weight gain.  (Although with a little research online I don't think his gaining is that slow - I think he's just behind from surgery and the long stay in the NICU working on feeding)  Then we have our 2 week follow-up with urology.  I can't believe it's been 2 weeks already!  I really don't know where time goes.

I also had a message tonight from our family medicine nurse.  I'm assuming it is word about the email consult to the GI docs.  I'm anxious to see what they will say.  He's balking at his cereal feedings now and showing reflux symptoms during that too.  Ugh.  I've become more relaxed with it all and I think I'm just used to the poor feedings.  A new trick I learned is to sing "Old McDonald Had a Farm" softly to him while he is feeding.  He seems to take twice as much that way!  I wouldn't be surprised if his first word is Moo!

Friday the 22nd marked his 7 month birthday.  

Boo!
