My Valentine!

 

My little guy is a busy bee! He is now WALKING! He started walking a week ago so at 11 months on the dot pretty much! He is also saying "All done" and "Gia". He is so precious! Carter is also getting tooth # 9 and 10. Which of course are his one year molars. They are half way broken through and man is he feeling it. Poor baby!

Rash

So I was right! It is not a rash. It is Folliculitious which is inflammation of the hair follicles! He is on two different antibiotics and it looks loads better! I am so glad we are to the root of the problem!

11 MONTHS!

What? For real! Wow!

My baby is now WALKING! He started cruising around 10.5 months and now he is full blown walking! Thats awesome for a preemie! He was a month early! Go Carter!

Carter is also (we think) saying Gia (our dog), waving hi and bye, clapping and giving high fives all around!

Every day I am so blessed to have him in my life (even if he does not like to cuddle) haha :)

Rash Update

Still on a road to nowhere with this rash. We did see a derm last friday but of course by the time the appointment rolls around made two days prior...the rash cleared up. Now it has reared its ugly head again. I have another appointment tomorrow for him, hopefully the rash is still there.

Quite honestly I do not even think its a rash, or an allergy. I think it is baby acne?

Either way frustrating!

Update

Its been a while since I just updated on how things are going in general.

First and foremost my son is doing fantastic! He is more and more amazing each and every day that passes. He is learning to walk! Yum he has taken about four steps all on his own! His rash also is looking better! I switch to ALL free detergent and the doctor prescribed a new prescription for him which seems to be working wonders. I also have him scheduled a dermatologist appointment Friday to get to the bottom of this.

My husband and I are also doing fantastic. Looking forward to things this summer like his sisters wedding, a possibly vacation and hanging out with our little guy!

In our future we do see another sibling for Carter. Which means 3 kids! Thats nuts. I never thought I would say that I would want three. My body is not too fond of being pregnant but my pregnancy with Carter was pretty well! So with that being said. I am back on all my feel good pills...that involves

Prenatal
Vitamin E
Vitamin D (prescription because mine is always like 10...its supposed to be around 40-60)
COQ10
B12
Zoloft (wow three years...)
Baby Asprin

Missing from that hoopla is my cholesterol medication. Cholesterol meds are NOT recommended while TTC or pregnant as they are in the category X for pregnant. Not good. Another reason why I need to start thinking about this future sibling. I need ot be back on my cholesterol meds. Lord only knows what my levels are.

As the back in shape front. I am doing much better than the few months after giving birth. It was rough I tell ya! I can't imagine a C section. My joints ached, my back was not the same after two epidurals and I had planters fictitious (stretched out ligaments in your feet)...the list goes on, including things that should probably be left out...even in blog world!  So I am still hanging on to those last 9-10 lbs! I am in the mist of wanting to actually cancel my gym membership, apparently there is a no cancellation policy (even with a doctors note) all I could do would be freeze the account AANNND there is a automatic renewal that this jerk is giving me a hard time with that as well. Sigh. Some people are not worth it. Petty shit. Come after me, that would be a sight to see. With all that I lost in the past few years...( things I dont even blog about, some financial) it would be a joke.

Anyway...on another note I am sick for the fourth time in four months. Second doctor of my life has recommended my tonsils being taken out. I should see an ENT. Should key word...if I get around to it! Hopefully taking all my vitamins again will kick start this crappy immune system again.

I will leave you with this precious face
