What else is new...

Well I feel like I have reached the end of this topic, at least for now. But I want to keep writing. What else is new? It's almost Christmas. Which means it's almost Julia's first birthday! There are tons of emotions! She is such a blessing. I am still home with her. It has been a tough year financially and with my health. The economy is still down and my family is dealing with a crisis. We have a lot of challenges, for sure. But we have so much to be thankful for! Julia is doing amazingly well. I think she is a verbal baby! She says Mama, Dada, Baba, Nigh Nigh, Hi, Yay. She waves when you say "Hi" or "Bye bye" She claps when you say yay. She even claps when people on tv are cheering. She is a happy baby. She loves her cousins, kids of all ages, and our dog, Maggie. Maggie is a sheltie/eskimo mix. Mags was the baby of the house before Julia came along. She loves Julia, if not maybe a little bit jealous.
Julia claps when Dada comes home and says Dada 90% more than she says Mama. She likes car trips, and she loves exploring her world. She's still crawling, but she's standing up, and crusing on the furniture.

Wow, holy shit!!! I went to a perinatologist on Friday who told me this. First reaction?? ANGER!!! Shouldn't I have known this? Been on drugs for this? Been hospitalized for this? My doc had me thinking I was a hypochondriac!!! I have no words

I'll be damned. Who used to say that? Someone in my family, I know that. My grandma used to say I'll-be-darned like it was one word. I have these funny symptoms like my tongue has pins and needles, and my toes are tingly, and my fingers. And my toes are cold. The back of my head tingles. And I am not on ANY drugs. It's so weird. I knew I had a vitamin D deficiency, but I am taking 6,000 IU a day of it, and....NOTHING. No improvement. I really want to stop nursing, do a liver cleanse, and see what happens. I think it explains my stalled weight loss too....
