Update....

Well Christopher's thyroid is fine! Yay!!! We just started him on rice cereal and it was so funny. Most of it got on Will's arm! He is such a sweet baby boy!

Day after the torture!!

I took Chris to get his blood drawn to test for hypothyroidism and they stuck him so many times that I don't even want to think about. They tried to get the vein in each arm and then, after repeated sticks, they decide that a finger prick would work. But they had to do it twice because the first time they didn't get enough blood... Oh I felt so bad for him.... we haven't heard back from the doctor yet so... I guess that will come tomorrow maybe.... Oh yesterday was a day!

4 month Check-up....

Well on Friday we had our 4 month check up. Chris is up to 13lbs and 12 ounces. He is 23 and 1/2 inches long. The doctor said he is looking good but I have to take him to the hospital on Monday to get his thyroid level checked. The doc mentioned he might have baby hypothyroidism because of his big eyes and his head measurement. He really doesn't think he has it but he wants to play it safe. Of course I am worried because I am his mommy and the thought of hospital and baby is scary but even if it is hypothyroidism it is really easy to treat. Well we will go Monday to get lab work done at the hospital so keep your fingers crossed and I will let you know what is going on.
