Checkups!

The boys went in for their checkups today.

Elio was in for his 2 year checkup, he was 29 lbs 4oz and 37 1/4 inches. They do a fun height prediction when they turn two. I think they double the height, so they thought he would be around 6'1" or 6"2 went he is an adult. He was in the 95 percentile for height and 75th for weight.

Nico went for his 4 month checkup, he weighed 17 lbs 4 oz and he was 27 and 3/4 inches. They said Nico was off the charts for height and because he was so long, it made his weight percentile in the 70's.

It was a great checkup, they are both happy, healthy and developing very normally!

Eye Update

The doctor thinks there is about a 10% chance that I have Pseudotumor Cerebri. It doesn't seem that it's that big of a chance, but just to be safe, he wants to see me in a month to check up on it and make sure everything is looking good. I guess we'll see what happens in a month.

Oh, try not to laugh...Turns out, I need glasses...Ughhh...Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I ended up getting a super cute pair.

They said if it goes good I may be able to get contacts. Woohoo.

Hallelujah

We are officially a PACIFIER FREE family!

Nico just rolled over for the FIRST time!

He's been pretty close to rolling over for a couple of weeks, but he finally did it tonight. It was great...We had Papa (my dad) and Nonno (Kyle's dad) over for dinner. After dinner we were playing in the living room and everyone got to watch him roll over for the first time.

Chicken Coop Update

Here's a few pictures of our chicken coop in progress:

Three nesting boxes

This is the coop mostly completed.
We just have a few finishing touches left and to build the run.


Here's some cute pictures of the chicks right after we got them,
they were only a few days old.





These are pic's we took last weekend

Many of you know I have had headaches for years. I have done so many different things to try to get rid of them; acupuncture, acupressure, food journal, massage, medication, rolfing, chiropractor, headache journal, etc.

I have been to several different doctors, they all tell me I may never find an answer to my headaches. Not exactly what someone who wakes up most days with headaches wants to hear.

I just went to this new doctor in Fort Bragg, and she told me the same thing, but she also recommended I have my eyes checked. So I did.

My vision is great, no problems, but he thinks that my optic nerve could be inflamed, which could be causing my headaches. If it is, I will probably have to have a spinal tap to remove some fluid in my spine (ouch!).

I had to go back to the same eye doctor for more extensive testing. This time I didn't do as great. So now, he wants me to get a second opinion this Friday. The doctor told me not to stress about it, and I'm not.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it's such a wonderful feeling to think that I might have a cure for my headaches...I'll let you know how it goes.

Elio just told me he loves me.
It made my day!
