Where does the time go.....

3 months since I have had little Bronson, where has the time gone. I swear it goes by so much faster the second time around. B is weighing in at around Speaking of time....Derek and I got totally out of workout routine around the beginning of November and I have been stuck at 175 forever. We were into the second week of The Shred with Jillian M. and so last week we started it over again. Its crazy how life can throw you off balance. We had Dreycin's bday, Dreycin's surgery, appointments, Bronson had a growth spurt where he wanted to eat every 1hr which had me WORN OUT, we had visitors, and then thanksgiving. That weekend we started our workouts again. This week Im going to re-incorporate my 30min elliptical workout when Derek comes home for lunch. I have noticed a huge difference with my lupus in the last month of not working out, ive had more joint pain its harder for me to get out of bed, and alot more fatigued relying HEAVILY on lots of coffeee!

Going back to B, he weighs 15.14lbs as of Wednesday at his Gastro f/u. He is wearing 6-12mos clothing. Bad news is that we are still seeing the blood in his stool, its very minimal and I am so glad that the gastro we are going to is agreeable that Breast is best even in this situation. We have agreed to do allergy testing at his 5month f/u appt because in addition to the blood we are also seeing eczema on his body. The doc knows that I am trying very hard on this diet, but sometimes I have to admit its easy to mess up. I make everything at home, and never fill full. I would be fine dairy free, but soy free too sucks.But its only temporary is what I have to keep telling myself. The only thing I splurge on is chickfila fries because they do not use vegetable oil, which is usually made of mixture of soybean oils. I thought for sure I would be losing weight but to contrary belief, and research people who eat more fruits and veggies, are gluten dairy and soy free are more susceptible to gaining weight because the bad stuff sticks to them. If that makes any sense. Ugh, i look forward to answers in January to know what not to eat, or not to feed Bronson when he starts eating solids. Ive been going to a breastfeeding support group for additional support/education/knowledge which has helped. Plus Dreycin gets to play with other kids. I have also decided to not vaccinate Bronson until we find out the true allergies. I hate to give his little weakened immune system something else to fight off, especially if we find out he is allergic to eggs. I as a child was allergic to everything under the sun, meats fruits vegetables.....but thankfully grew out of them by my teenage years.

With all that we have been going through, we are looking forward to christmas. We are done shopping, have decorated the house inside and out, and all we have left is to come up with a christmas menu!
