Baby #2 update...

We had another baby appointment yesterday.  

Good News 

&

Bad News

Good News:

Baby is growing like a weed.  He is officially measuring two weeks ahead of schedule so I would assume we have another "linebacker" on our hands.  Although the doctor is very happy with his progress, she is still keeping a very close eye on his size!  (thank goodness).

My mom was able to join me for my appointment and we were able to hear Baby's VERY strong heart beat loud and clear!  AND he gave mommy a few strong kicks while the heart monitor was hooked up to my tummy.

Bad News:

I was supposed to have my glucose test yesterday morning as well, but I was not informed that they changed their testing and I needed to fast for 8 hours prior to the test (I did not have to do that during my first pregnancy)  Needless to say, I had a very delicious breakfast, granola bar and latte prior to my appointment and therefore, could not take the test.

I will be making up the test tomorrow (early) morning, so keep the positive thoughts coming my way that everything goes just fine.

Overall, baby #2 is doing GREAT!  He is kicking mommy like crazy and making sure I know when he is awake.

I can't believe was are less than 14 weeks away from meeting our new little man!

 

Another first....

Well, it's official...  Jameson got his very first ear infection... and to make the situation even "better".... 

it was a DOUBLE ear infection!  

I have to admit, I was feeling pretty "lucky" to have a little boy, with a constant runny nose, never complaining, running a fever or really showing any sort of symptoms of an ear infection.  Bring on a cranky, sleepy, no appetite Thursday morning and we were in full fledged worry mode with a sick little boy.  With a temperature slowly climbing, we mad a call to our doctor and off we went.  J was trying his best to fall asleep pretty much the entire day, but nothing would comfort him.  Naturally he finally fell asleep in my arms at the doctors office only to be woken up by the doctor poking at his ears.  BUT, she said he clearly had two infections and the meds would start to help right away.

A few doses of meds later and we started to get our little man back!  I felt so bad for him, but he was such a champ and pushed through the pain, took the meds like a pro and slept like a champ that evening.

So, bring on day 4 (of 10) of the amoxicillion and J was developing a nice little rash on his tummy.  Day 5 the rash was spreading and he was also getting larger spots on his legs.  Day 6 was RED FLAG day and we ended up finding out our little man has an allergy to amoxicillion.  

New meds were prescribed and we now have a happy/healthy little man again!

We are back to climbing on EVERYTHING, babbling away and giggling like crazy!  

So happy J is feeling better!
