Happy New Years, we are cheering for a healthier year this year!!!
Im starting the year off at a weight of 169 & i havent seen that number since 2008! We were so blessed in 2011, I can only imagine how awesome 2012 will be! We are enjoying Daddy being home, helping out! Both the boys slept bad last night, but when Derek heard B wake up this AM he came and got him right away so I could sleep until 10! Bronson went all day yesterday without any blood in stool, but was very crabby. I'm guessing it could have been the black eyed peas chili I ate two days in a row? Ive been cutting back on beans. We also didn't have any blood in the first two stools today but the 3rd a little bit? I'm very anxious for our second opinion, because I'm thinking it has some relation to allergies but not completely. Some people just don't understand why I am so adamant about breast feeding through all this.
Yes it's frustrating but I refuse to let anyone tell me that my breast milk has no nutritional value once I've cut out all or most allergens. Especially a dumb dr that has probably never been educated on breast feeding. So B now 4months has been gaining weight, he is a little over 18lbs and until last night was sleeping all night from about 10pm until maybe 6, wake up eat then goes back to sleep until 830 or so. I measured him at home and he is 28 inches long!
We don't have a 4month follow up until end of the month, and at that time we will get more stats. I've also decided to hold off on vaccinations, maybe doing a delayed schedule for B until we get results of allergy test and he starts solids. Right now I'm loving it when he plays with my hair while he is nursing, when he moves his little hand all over my face in discovery(he does it to Derek too), and the way he puts his feet together heel to heel while he is on the floor playing. Those lik feet are so cute! Speaking of the little booger, he is starting to scoot with his arms now, he is never the way we left him on the floor! It was so cute today Dreycin saw that I had put him on floor for some tummy time so he went to go get B's Christmas present a little tikes toy that he looks up at while laying underneath and plays with! He drug and lifted it up to bring it to his brother, it was so sweet! It's truly amazing the way they are starting to look at each other, each one will smile then they both burst into laughter! Although the other day B and D were playing on floor and B grabbed a hold of Dreycins hair and would not let go so D started crying! We may have let it go for just a minute longer silently trying not to LOL!!!!!!

Yoga have I told you how much I love you?! Tuesday's are my yoga nights, well at least for the last month, and turns out the instructor is adding more classes out in town in the evenings and every other Saturday! Today was one of those "get me out of the house NOW" days, I pumped and left a bottle and when Derek walked through the door I said BYE!!! Did I mention I'm at that postpartum stage where all my hair is falling out, Derek had to declog our bathroom shower! I'm seriously tempted to cut it all off but I've never had long hair!!!!

I'm looking forward to this year, maybe to come home to Texas for a month or so this spring. And maybe to figure out where the Marine Corp will be taking us next.
