Doctor Called Today

The Cardiologist called today and everything is fine. It does however look as if he might have a small hole in the upper left chamber but that is normal for 2 months old. He said theat they usually close up by 8 months old and he wants to see Nicholas again at a year old. We were very relieved to hear that.

Doctor Appointment

Nicholas had his follow up appointment with the Cardiologist for his heart when he was born. He had another echo cardiogram today he did very well. He had just eaten before it so he was calm with a full belly!
When the doctor came in, he listened to his heart and then told me he would be right back, he just needed to check something on the echo. Well, a red flag went right up in my mind. When the doctor came back in, he said it looks good. They compared the echo from today and from the appointment he had in November. They look almost the same. When Nicholas was born, they were worried about his left ventrical being too small, well in today's echo the left ventrical look a little larger than normal but he is not sure. He wants the head tech to read the echo. He will call me tomorrow with the results. If the measuremnts were correct today, we will need to be seen again in 6-8 weeks. If the measurements were not correct then he is all done with the cardiologists. So I will know tomorrow!

What am I doing wrong!! HELP!!!

I do not know what I am doing wrong; but Sonia will NOT sleep in her own bed/room. I lay down with her and rub her back and when I try to leave she starts crying and says her belly hurts and she needs to throw up. When we arrive at the bathroom she cries and says she wants Daddy and to sleep in Daddy's room. Now, I have been laying down with her for almost an hour and I thought she was a sleep but NO!! I get extremely aggravated because I am tired and she used to be fine going to sleep after I left her, but ever since about June of last year she has had to have me lay down with her until she has fallen asleep. I don't know what to do. I have tried all my "tricks" I think I know but they have not worked! HELP!

work after maternity leave

Today was a busy day for myself and Nicholas. Nicholas had his 2 month doctor appointment. It went very well. He now weighs 11 lbs 5 oz and is 22 1/2" long. His doctor was very pleased with his progress. We decided to call Early Intervention to get him evaluated. I have a few concerns and the doctor agrees with me. He was on a CPAP machine at birth and then 4 weeks later was intebated for 8 days so her and I want to make sure everything is developing on time.

As for me, I started work again after being off for 10 weeks. I started late around 12:30 because of the DR's apointment. I have to admit, it felt like I hadn't even been gone. Some of the kids who are 3 years old by the way; decided to try to test me but that is normal. Overall it was a great day.

Nicholas is with my mom for when I am at work and that puts my mind at ease!

back to work

Well, it's back to work tomorrow for me after 10 weeks off for maternity leave. Even though I was in the hospital for 3 of those weeks! Oh well what can you do.
I go back to work tomorrow but late because Nicholas has his 2 month appointment and then I have to take Wednesday off because Nicholas has his Cardiologist appointment. He has that to make sure everything is progressing normally. I guess at 2 months old that is when all newborn "stuff" should be gone from the heart area and they can really tell if everything is OK!
Sometimes I wish I could be a SAHM but then I think I would be bored. I would waste gas and probably EAT myself to 300lbs.
Well, wish me luck going back to work. Maybe I will have more to write about when I am at work. We will see. And maybe I will get more people to visit my blog IDK.
