By golly I can not believe it has been half a year since Christmas and the day I gave birth to our little miracle Evie!!! Things are sure changing fast around here.
Evie is now eating solids! We have so far had carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, rice and oat cereals and apples. Tomorrow we start something new once again. In our house we are using the 3 day rule. My soon to be sister in law Jen had told me that her pediatrician had said after 3 days that if they have no allergic symptoms that you are usually in the clear to start something new.
Today we had Evie's 6 month appointment at the doctors. She now weights a whopping 15.5 pounds and is 4 cm's longer than she was before. She is still in the lower percentile...but the doctor never mentioned anything to us about it..Doug just happened to see that it said that I her Mac computer screen where she types everything up. It was actually a pretty good visit..she answered our questions..gave us advice about Certain things and told us Evie looks healthy and happy!!! Evie was such a big girl..she did not even cry when she had her needle this time..she just had a delayed reaction kind of a small whimper you know after the needle was already out and put away. I was surprised on how well she did behave considering her appointment was during her nap time.
We asked the doctor about Homo milk..due to if Doug and I do start to try again I will not be breastfeeding any longer at that point. Anything that I would need to take would go into my milk and that would be very bad. She does not want us to at least until after she is 9 months old. Has to do a lot with Omega 3..iron levels and digesting it properly. All doctors and studies right now do not want ppl stopping until after a year for many reasons. If we do switch one of the things she told us was there is one homo milk called "dairy-oh" by Neilson that we can buy that has omega 3 in it..or try to give her fatty fish with omega3 in it 2 times a week. I do not eat fish so we will see how that goes over...lol.
After the appointment we re-booked Evie to see her against 9 months and I will going next week to see what my blood results are for hormone levels and such. Doug and I would like to see where we are at. We might start trying again in the fall considering how long it took to get our first miracle. Also we might have to go back to the specialist.
Well there is the latest..will post pics and such soon...just be excited that I am posting only
