Default Jocelyn's 6 month check-up & update

Hi ladies! I seem to lurk here much more often then post, but I'll try to get better. Anyways, Jocelyn had her 6 month check today (at 7 months). All's well, she's 14lb 3oz (10th%), 25.5in (25th%), and her head is 44cm (75th%). So she's petite with a big head. She's developing as she should. She had to get two shots today. I just hate that, but I know it's whats best. We started the Ferber method about 2 weeks ago (on the docs recomendation) and it's going great. It wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of stories I've heard and we've had an amazing transformation in the house. Everyone's happier.

Now onto me. TMI warning! I'm having some bleeding issues. Here's the back story. I bleed for 9 weeks post partum. Then starting the end of January I would bleed for a day or two then stop for a few days. Very annoying. On 2/25 I started a full fledged AF. Heavy, heavy bleeding (you know, the kind where you need double protection) and clots from dime size to golf ball size. Well, it just wasn't getting better so last week I called my doc because it had been three weeks. They did a CBC to check for anemia (I'm not) and started me on progesterone for 10 days. Also, I had to get an u/s done. That showed endometrial thicking (I think it was something like 15mm). So now I wait until I start bleeding again, which should be this weekend, and I need to call to set up a sonohystogram (sp?) to look for a polyp. Not sure what we do from there. Thank god we got the domestic partnership so I was able to be added to DP's insurance.

Sorry, that turned into quite the novel. Here's a few pics though, just to make my post longer. LOL.

Pictures from easter.

Sorry, I don't know what the deal is with Photobucket. I've resized the pics but they're still really big.

GREAT pics, and not too big at all!

Jocelyn is absolutely gorgeous! My oh my she has beautiful big blue eyes. I can see from your Easter pic that she is one "spoilt" baby Any excuse to get more toys hey!

Sounds like Jocelyn is growing very nicely, but not such good news about your body. I'm sorry you've been having bleeding issues. Sounds awful. I'm glad something is being done to look into it now, and hopefully you can get it sorted out soonish. Good news that you are able to be on your DP's insurance. Good luck with it. Great tattoo by the way.

Way to go, Jocelyn & Moms!
Your little peanut has amazing eyes! We are still waiting to see what color Caleb will have. I'm crossing my fingers for blue.

The tattoo is really nice - did you get one too? I gave Carolyn a gift certificate for a tattoo for her birth present. She's going to get some sort of arm band with Caleb's name. I was going to get his footprint on my back/shoulder but his foot is so freeking big I'm having second thoughts!
