pray for my baby

So Olivia had a doctors appointment on Thursday...and she hasn't gained any weight in four months. They wanted to test her thyroid, so they had to draw blood....from her little arms! They had to poke her three times to get enough blood because it just wasn't coming out. And then after that she had to get poked three more times for shots.
Wasn't such a fun day for Olivia. or Joel or me.
So we are just adding in two more feedings during the day, so she eats pretty much all the time.
And we have to go to the doctor weekly to have her weighed.
The weird thing is that she is growing taller. She grew like an inch and a half in the past two months...but just didn't gain any weight.
And she's developmentally ahead. She can sit up really well, and has been for two months, according to Dr. Ruby she "talks" and babbles closer to what a seven or eight month old would be doing, and and is really active and aware. So that's good.
She eats so much though!!
She has milk seven times a day, and three of those times she has some veggie or fruit puree and rice cereal with it.


Joel bought me flowers today. He had to go to the store while I was making dinner because I needed something and he came back with flowers!! Love love love.



My wisdom teeth are coming out on Dec 22nd. I'm kinda bummed because I really wanted to do it after Christmas, but the 22nd was the only day they had open the entire break. Oh, and the place I'm going to is all about not feeling the pain. Lol. They gave me three Valium pills to take, 1 the night before (to get a "good" nights sleep) and 2 the morning of. During the surgery I have IV stuff to knock me out, and afterwards I get stuff to keep me numb for awhile.
I doubt I will be able to take all of the stuff though..because Olivia still needs to eat and I don't have enough stored up to just be drugged up for that long. But I was on hydros and demerol when I was in the hospital and they still had me feed her.
I guess I'll have to ask someone about that one.
