It has been a while since I have posted. The past 2 weeks have been busy, and stressful to say the least. My daughter has been dealing with some major tummy problems that have caused her to be even more attached to my hip than usual. I am trying my best to just stop everything and hold her, but with Austin and Dusty sometimes it is hard to focus my attention on just one person rather than everyone in the house. My heart has been breaking for her because I know that she doesn't feel well. We have made several trips and several phone calls to her doctor’s office and I do believe that they are doing the best they can to figure out what is going on. The main problem is that she can't seem to hold down formula, she can tolerate baby food and juice but as soon as she finishes a bottle her tummy goes on the fritz. Since we have had to stop formula Memphis is constantly hungry. Baby food and juice is just not pleasing her belly enough. Today the doctor decided she should try a different formula so fingers crossed that this helps. If this fails you can trust me I will be waiting at the doctor’s office first thing Monday morning with a list of things they should look into. Yes, I will go into search overload, worse than the extremely annoying bing commercials.
Oh another note, I have lost 2 more pounds. That makes a total of 24 pounds lost I started this journey in January. I have started walking, almost daily. There have been a few obstacles that I have to work thru since it is not really possible for me to just head outside and walk with a baby, kid, or something becoming a factor. Since Memphis has been sick walking with her has been the biggest challenge. I'd like to say that I’ve been okay with it but to be honest it has been very stressful. I am doing my very best to be there for her, but at the same time I don't understand why it is so hard for her to just lay in the stroller, take a nap and let me walk. Today, however, things started to look up when Memphis began to really enjoy our walk. Anyway, since I have started walking I feel so much better and relaxed. I also feel like I am becoming addicted to walking, which I am looking at as a positive way to help keep me motivated.
So if you read this, please take a minute and wish my daughter well. Then clap your hands three times, turn around, and wave your hands in the air in celebration of my 24 pounds down. woot woot.
