Ivan..
There's our sweet Ivan in the ER. Our pediatrician sent us there on Sunday night. It had been 9 days since little Ivan had a bowel movement and they spent the entire night doing Xrays, ultrasounds and other tests to make sure there wasn't any serious problem. He was a trooper and was flirting and smiling at all the nurses. Everything came back normal, but he is still having issues and we're not sure why. Nothing we are trying works (fruit juice, Karo syrup, suppositories..) so we are going to take him to a specialist. Probably TMI for all of you and he will probably be really embarrassed to read this when he's older, but for journaling purposes.. Spending the night in the pediatric unit of the hospital made me think about how grateful I am to have healthy children. I never want to see my babies sick.
Such a goofy face but it really shows his personality. Love him! He turned three months this past week and is now 14 pounds of chunky love!
Cute smile!Norah..
Norah started gymnastics and she loves it. I knew she would. Unfortunately I was in the hospital with Ivan and couldn't go watch her but Joe said she was in heaven. She's such a cutie pie. She is turning TWO this week! Ahh!
Family..
We discovered Reston Town Center last month. They have a live band perform every Saturday night. The Town Center is filled with upscale apartments and shopping. It's good clean family fun.
After the band we got some (real) Italian Ice and custard. Yum!
Norah and Daddy. They are buddies for sure. Did you know Red Robin has free refills on their ROOTBEER FLOATS?
That's all for now!
So sorry to hear about Ivan. I hope he gets better soon. He is so cute. It is so hard to see my kids sick, especially if the have to go to the hospital. You'll all be in our prayers.--Vivian
ReplyDeleteCute update Lauren. Hope Ivan feels better soon. Maybe it is a food allergy? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Ivan's bowels. Jacob had a similar issue. I kept taking him to the doctor because he would wake up crying and I knew it was because he needed to poop. Every time I took him in they wouldn't make a big deal out of it. So I'm glad your doctors took xrays. This may sound weird, but he finally had regular bowel movements when I started him on formula around 10 months. Hang in there. Its no fun to have a sad baby in pain.
