All the Doctors

In January we spent quite a bit of time in the doctor's office. We went to establish care with Aaron's new pediatrician. We really like them. Then we were back two days later because I thought Aaron was spitting up blood. They got me in fifteen minutes after I called and ended up staying two hours after close with us. I can't say how incredibly grateful I am for them. I feel like other doctors would have just sent us to urgent care where we would have waited all night. 

Sammy was able to get off work early and be with us which I was so grateful for. At one point they almost sent us to the hospital because they did a blood test that came back really low and might have indicated internal bleeding. They did it again and got a different number that was still low. I was glad to know that I'd put a go bag in the car earlier that week just in case we ever have to stay in the hospital again because holy cow it was awful to wear the same underwear for a few days. Aaron was eating fussy before Sammy showed up, but as soon as he got there he cuddled right up to him. 
They ended up sending us home that night, and Aaron was okay. We went back later and had his blood tested and the levels had gone back to normal. I also had to bring in a stool sample to have that tested. We had an appointment with some specialists at the hospital later that week, and they told me they were pretty sure he wasn't spitting up blood, but weren't sure what it was. 

Aaron had another scope done and that went well. I was so nervous before it, and thankfully Sammy was able to come with me. We were a really good team. His last scope he screamed bloody murder for a few minutes before eating. This time he screamed for a few seconds, and Sammy held his hand and talked to him while I held him. He calmed right down and did wonderfully. Thankfully Aaron isn't aspirating anymore something I'm so relieved about. However, his weight gain is slowing down, so we get to meet with more specialists for that. I'm just grateful that these are the things we're dealing with. Every time we go to the Children's hospital my heart breaks for all the other parents there.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
