Time for an Update!

It feels as though it has been forever since I have blogged! So much has been going on and there isn't enough time in a day or enough days of the week, before I know it another week is gone! We are doing wonderful and staying as busy as ever with very little down time!

Zachary had his colonoscopy this past monday and had nothing but good results. A few weeks back he was seen in the ER and diagnosed with diverticulitis, due to his age he was refereed to a specialist to have a colonoscopy to be on the safe side. His results showed absolutely no polyps, no hemorrhoids, no pouches, no nothing..the end results were that he is a healthy man with OUT diverticulitis! The dr said that his ct scan that was read in the er was misinterpreted as being diverticulitis when in reality it was an abdominal infection!

On tuesday Zach and I got in the zone with the zone diet and daily cross fit training! We wanted to better our health and well being and get into better shape for Tegan and her future. I am LOVING it and already feeling awesome, I even love the burn in my legs from the workouts. Burn baby burn!

Tegan is wonderful! She will be 6 months old on the 19th already. She is growing like a little weed and looking and acting less and less like a baby every day. She now giggles all the time and always has a smile on her face. We are still fighting issues with her reflux and blocked tear ducts, some days I wonder if they will ever get better. I made the decision to switch Tegan to a new pedi in hopes that someone will help my baby! I wasn't ever impressed with the dr's office or the care we received but I felt horrible and mean for thinking about leaving. After leaving last appointment unsatisfied I decided to take the plunge and switch. Dr. Shah wouldn't do a single thing for Tegan's reflux because she is gaining weight on track; I can't stand watching Tegan puke up (all day) acidic formula and saliva anymore. I know Tegan is in pain because every time she throws up she makes a weird face, makes a sound of discomfort and thrashes her head from side to side. It isn't fair to make her suffer so I pray that her new dr will do something for her. Her tear ducts are starting to get better but they are still slightly blocked, I can't wait for the day that she no longer has this issue. Her vaginal opening looks like it is slowly starting to separate on its own, hopefully it wont need estrogen cream or further measures to open it completely. I will of course discuss all of these issues with her new dr at her 6 month check up on the 26th of may.

Today I had to retire most of Tegan's 3-6 month clothes! I just can't believe how much she has grown!!! She is now eating her big girl food(cereal) daily and so far her tummy seems to be handling it. She still isn't rolling over and hasn't even shown any desire to until today. I was just commenting on how she isn't rolling over and doesn't even try to and all of a sudden Tegan started trying to only minutes after I was talking about hear. Clearly she wants to prove me wrong :) I had the camera sitting right next to me so I caught her on tape! Such a proud mommy moment!!!

Ahead of us is a very busy month! This weekend we have to go to chicago so I can be measured to have my sari blouse made for my brother in laws wedding (his soon to be wife is Indian). After our stop at the seamstress we have to go to cake tasting to give our opinions (I will have to use my cheat day). Sunday we are going to a cook out at my mommy's house for mothers day. Next weekend is my sisters senior prom(I am doing hair) and grand march, I have Liz's bridal shower the following weekend and the last weekend in may is my sisters high school graduation. Busy Busy! I hope everyone is well! I will try to take time out of all the craziness to update and post pictures.
