So it has been awhile since I have posted and decided this would be a good day to do so. We went to the Dr. and I expected to hear lots of good things. Before we even saw the doctor I was put into shock. The first thing the nurse did was weigh Ethan. I thought for sure I was going to hear that he weighed at least 18 lbs. He doesn't even weigh close to that. He weighs 15 lbs. 6 oz. I just didn't think that could be right, he feels like a cinder block and eats and eats and eats. Oh and he is in the 0% percantile for his age. However he is getting taller and his head circumference are okay. So now we have to change the dosage of his milk and feed him lots of food. The doctor did say that it could be genetics and it could be that he is so active. However we could not depend on that because there was no way of proving that. I'm pretty sure it could be a little bit of both. I should not complain because developmentally he is right where he should be. That boy is as smart as a whip. We also need to put him on a regular sleep schedule but his momma is a whimp.
I am definitely having momma issues right now and hearing these things did not help me one bit. I hate being away from him and having to go to work. It makes me feel like I am the worst mother in the world. If I were at home I wonder if we would be having these issues. I know that I am not the only working mother that feels this way but when I know that he misses me and I miss him it breaks my heart and pray for the day when I can be the homemaker that I dream of being. That is the one profession that I have always wanted to have. There is one last thing to discuss and that is the title of our blog. One of Ethans' many nicknames is bugaboo and has eventually been shorted down to boo so there you have "The Life and Times of the Boo Kind".
