Crazy skin and heart doctors..

Noah had his 4 month appointment almost 3 weeks ago, he was 16lbs 7oz and almost 26 inches long.. we are still battling eczema on a daily basis. The doc prescribed a steroid ointment to help.. I also changed his formula and have cut my milk intake. All seem to be helping but he still seems miserable. He sort of looks like he was attacked by a cat.. 

The doc also heard a heart murmur so we were referred to a cardiologist.  An EKG and a heart ultrasound later, Noah was diagnosed with a small hole in his heart (that should not be an issue) and some thickening of the walls of the left ventricle, causing a slight increase in the pressure at which blood is pushed out of it. He says at this point it is something to watch and we have to see the cardiologist every 3 months for 2 visits then we will determine if we need to continue.. 

Katelyn is keeping me busy. She is into everything especially since she has started walking. I am amazed at how quickly she has gone from the Frankenstein like walking to walking like a little kid.. She kind of whimsically walks after everything her heart desires.. 


They started daycare two weeks ago and have been doing well.. Katelyn has adjusted far better and far more quickly than I had anticipated.. Noah is just happy to have the attention.. 


Me, I just need to get more sleep...
