I know I know I'm pregnant but still I am super frustrated with myself. We were gone for a couple days and I just ate WAYYYYY toooo much. I stepped on the scale this afternoon and felt very frustrated with myself. At home it is so much easier for me to eat less or maybe it's the fact that I munch on apples, carrots, and oranges to keep me full most the day that when I sit down for a meal I don't feel like I need to eat as much. Ohh well that's in the past tomorrow is a new day and I will do better.....only 15 weeks to go I can do this....I can do this.

I took Conner to the Dr. this afternoon. It was the 1st appointment EVER that I left the Dr.'s office NOT feeling terrible. Yes my baby is still little but I got the reassurance that I so DESPERATELY needed that he is ok. He is now in the 20th percentile and had a very good year for thriving.....sigh of relief. Not a real concern about the throwing up episodes. He might just have a sensitive tummy. He also said that sometimes it may be a side affect of migraines and since I suffer from migraines and it also runs in the family it is a strong possibility but also very difficult to diagnose at such a young age. As long as he does not run a fever, which he never does, and does not have other symptoms it's not a real concern. As for his eye we or now on a very LOOOONG waiting list to see a specialist. I did not realize that you had to wait 10 months to see an eye specialist. They did an eye exam and it sure does seem like he might need glasses. He also had 4 shots today and did really well...poor little guy sure got tortured. Now we just have to go back in for a hearing test I just have to make sure it's covered by our insurance. He had SO much nervous energy he was excited to go see the dr. and scared and nervous but did better than he has ever before. Going to the dr. is always very stressful with him he has never handled being poked and checked very well. We went and got some ice cream after and that made everything all better.

Looking forward to the next week to be over, we will most likely not see Neal at all till Thursday night :( The kids and I are going to Rockford for a couple days. I decided that since he will be working so much that we mind as well go spend some time with family. We hate being away from him but at least this way he can rest when he is at home!!!
