A week at the doctors

I feel like we have lived at the doctors offices this last week. I don't know what I was thinking scheduling all of these appointments in the same week. First we had a baby apt everything is still looking great with the baby. He showed off everything he owns full spread eagle so now I'm not so worried anymore about the doctor changing his mind and saying its a girl. Then we had a follow up appointment with Jeremys doctor, he has been having a lot of digestive problems so they have been doing a bunch of tests a colonoscopy, a stomach scope and some blood work. They think Jeremy is a celiac which means his body can't have wheat or gluten. Basically anything with flour in it he can't have. I have been spending a lot of time on the internet doing research about celiacs and a gluten free diet and I am feeling completely overwhelmed so if any of you know anything about gluten free diets or know a celiac that you could put us in touch with that would be greatly appreciated. Finally we rounded out our week with Sophies 3rd year well child check up. Sophie has always been on the bottom of the charts for her weight and small for her height so when we found out she was in the 11th percentile for her weight we were shocked she has always been in the second. She is growing! yay! I have always worried that at some point she would not be on the charts and we would have to go through tests so I am so happy that she is finally higher up on the charts. She weighs 27 lbs I knew she was getting heavier but wow for her that was a huge jump. Hopefully next week will be quieter at our house I'm sick of the doctors office.

I have a friend with Celiac disease so if that's really what this is let me know and I could get you hooked up.

I'm glad Sophie is on the charts now! I think that Skylar weighed 26 lbs. at one! Trevor weight that about now! Funny!
