breathe in and out...

That's what I've been trying to do since discovering Katie's weight loss last week. Regardless of what some people might try to tell me, I'm sorry, but yes losing 6oz is kinda something to be concerned about. Babies aren't supposed to lose weight.

We're weighing her again tomorrow. Her gastro said to just keep monitoring it. Since we already have the scope scheduled we just need to wait and see what that shows. March 25 seems like an eternity away now.

I'm also a bit concerned about how short she is. We're not tall people, but still I would think she'd grow more than 1 inch in a 6mo time span. The gastro checked her thyroid which came back normal, so who knows that the deal is.

I think Momma might need a little retail therapy. I've been stopping myself from putting in a TCP order, but now might be the time.

Got another new carseat. Easy E decided he really didn't like Kelton's old seat(the brown and black leather one). I was sick of hearing him swear at the seat and honestly was not enjoying buckling her into it myself either. After yet more deliberation, instead of another Evenflo Triumph, I went with a Britax Marathon. More expensive, yes, but I did save over $80 by stacking coupons. She will also be able to sit in this seat until she is probably 6 years old. It works much better in the Avalanche than the Triumph did. We're both happy with it and I think Katie is too.



Oh yea and Katie is BANANAS for bananas! :-)

Hang in there. I know how stressful weight loss in little ones is. Hadley was getting weighed every 2 weeks for awhile. She is still low on the charts but finally growing.
We love our marathon.

She is so, so cute. I'm sorry that things are so stressful. Did they test for celiac already?

I love that carseat! Weight gain and growth is so frustrating! Savannah has always measured small. I think she's in the 5-10% group for height, always has been.

Did you order from TCP? Have you been holding out on me?
