Default Re: Check In!

We're good... I'm almost 32 weeks and finally decided to "fire" the midwife, because I just couldn't keep leading her on and then just not calling during labor (there's a post I made about it in the due in july board). But otherwise the pregnancy is going really great!!

Jake is wonderful... using lots of words, along with speaking "sim" (anyone else play sims2? LOL). He's still sleeping great... still hasn't been sick (except diarrhea once or twice, and a fever once, lol). Our pediatrician... well don't get me started on that. Our pediatrician labeled my active, happy, smart child as "failure to thrive" because he was in the 8th precentile or so... oooooh-wee! And then, after a LONG discussion about DS's MILK PROTEIN ALLERGY, he says I need to give DS pediasure twice a day. Yeah... and what's the second ingredient again??? (for those that don't know, it's concentrated milk protein). Anyway, I got a second and third opinion, who told me the first opinion was ridiculous . I was in the market for a new ped anyway b/c the practice I was going to said intact boys should be retractable by age two, and obviously that's ridiculous and I didn't want to risk putting my 2yo through that kind of sexual assault!! So, new pediatrician we found.

Dh applied for a job in Chattanooga and if he gets it we're moving. Since we live in the city with one of the highest crime rates per-capita, horrible school (even though we're HSing anyway), and hardly any kid-friendly stuff to do (for under $30, eek!)

Sadly, we found a new home for our boxer today. We LOVE him, he just doesn't get enough time and love around here and there isn't enough room in our backyard for him. So we found a wonderful family that already has a female boxer the same age, and 3 acres of farm land... we'll miss him but he'll be soooooo much happier in the long run. She's coming to get him today at five... ...

So yep... I think that's it We're doing great.
