Lauren has had her dental surgery and did really good. Her mouth looks great with every back tooth getting a stainless steel crown and all the front teeth getting capped. This should save her adult teeth. She is a totally different child that has so much better moods and sleeps better. Well she did sleep better. Now she has regressed a bit. Although after talking to my Dr yesterday this is normal for her age and usually starts about 3 and goes for about 6 months. She said it is most common in little girls. Also she said adding a baby to the mix just heightens it at this time. It is also the time that little girls tend to get on a 'daddy' kick and only want him. She hasn't totally only wanted him but more and more she calls for him at night and when she gets hurt she wants him. It is good knowing that I may be with the baby more but sad at the same time when she doesn't call me.
Bad news for her though is that at her last appointment at Children's it was determined from the EEG that she is having all sorts of spikes on the brainwaves. These could be as simple as the brain bleeds from birth forming scar tissue which happens to most children born vaginally but because they don't have MRIs at birth it isn't known or it could be a precursor to more seizures. Metabolics thinks it is just scar tissue forming as her MRI done recently was totally normal and she isn't showing any signs of seizures. But to be sure they have upped her B6 with a follow up EEG planned soon. These spikes can cause headaches though and she has told us that her head hurts 'inside' so I guess she is having them. I am praying for scar tissue as I don't want any more seizures in her. Her EMG (the test of her nerve endings) came back totally normal which is why she is okay to go up on the B6.
As for the little baby, he is doing good. I am hoping to keep him in till at least April 1st though. My Dr thinks he could be early but she thinks i can hold out if I take it easy which I am trying to do. Not so easy with a toddler though. I am still not packed for the hospital though. I do have the car seat ready and I have washed one load of his clothes and still have one more to go. Tony should be getting the dresser this weekend.
I was supposed to get maternity pictures this weekend but the photographer had to cancel. She wanted to do next Saturday but now I have to cancel and Tony is busy with work so it doesn't look like I will get them. I didn't with Lauren so I shouldn't be upset but I sort of am. I will just get newborn pics I guess.
Knowing this is my last pregnancy is sad. I love feeling his movements and see him moving around. I know I won't get to do it again. That said my poor hips and pelvis will be happy to be able to move and walk again. I definitely didn't have this any other pregnancy and I really need to see my chiropractor soon.
Okay I hope that wasn't too long and I hope I got everything although feel free to ask questions if I forgot anything. I will try and keep on track better now
