Be gone!

I think that stupid bug has finally vacated Squirt. He's had the runs all week....blah.
We took him to the chiropractor today and while we were waiting to see her, we put him on the scale and he was 14.9 lbs with clothes on. I immediately took him off because I didn't want to see that number.
In case anyone is thinking why did I go see a chiropractor instead of our pedi? I called our pedi and they said this virus just has to run its course. As long as he is not dehydrated and had good wet diapers, we just had to wait it out. Weight loss is an unfortunate side effect for him. :( :( :(

We are seeing Dr. Trish, the chiropractor, with *surprise* our growth issues. Just on a side note, some may say the virus was on its way out anyway, Squirt was still very floppy, super-super whiny this morning and after his adjustment, he was back to his playful, minimal- whiny self. I honestly wish I would have taken him in sooner. I absolutely love her philosophy. Basically just because there are limitations on some things doesn't mean that is true for everything. There is always room for improvement. This is quite vague but I can't possibly type our conversations that would be one LONG blog. She believes in the body, the miracle it is, and helping it do its job. Do I think chiropractics is the cure all? No, but I'm a fan of well-rounded health care.
When I was little I had horrible bladder infections. I can remember being in the hospital having nightmarish tests done. One in particular was they had tubes in me and were filling my bladder with so much water and I had to keep it in while they did an ultrasound. I can remember it felling like an eternity and bawling. I was about six. The answer they gave my mom was I would just have to live with it. Thank goodness she kept looking for an answer and found Dr. Trish. After her adjustments, I stopped getting bladder infections after having them since infancy. Of course, our doctor said I just grew out of them. I really hope she can help Squirt.

So I'm slackin' when it comes to pics. I have loads of x-mas pics that I will hopefully get up this weekend in between watching the playoffs.
Have a good one!
