Testing...1-2-3

8, 15, 20...I am soooo over them! As you know today was another Duke day for us - oh joy! (not really). Today I had a stomach emptying test done where I had to lay on a board in the ugly xray rooms and drink milk mixed with radioactive junk - i'd rather had chocolate, but no one asked me! I was sooo sleepy after not being fed this morning so I downed the milk like a pro and decided to nap for the 1 hour on the table where I was wrapped up like a mummy/burrito/swaddled baby. Thankfully the 'rents told them to leave my arms out so I had my lovie and paci and was okay. The test was supposed to show how fast my stomach contents moved on...after the hour was over the tech checked both my stomach and small intestine and verified that it was not over 50% emptied so we had to wait 30 more minutes before the second scan could be done.

NOT.FUN.PEOPLE!

I was hungry and ILL as a snake! I cried every single time I saw my diaper bag 'cause I know I have food in there and then we were across from the cafe and I saw lots of people walk by with chips and other yummy goodness. I tried to tell them I wanted a bite - but no such luck :(

BUMMER!

so as you know we have no 'real' results but thought I'd give you the 411 as of now. I have another test done Thursday where I can't eat after 6:45 am and the test starts at 2:15 - should be really fun. SO think of me Thursday as you eat your morning biscuit :-) I'll be thinking of eating your biscuit too! hehe.

Peace out peeps and Happy Monday -

Hi Hi Ho...

...off to "DOOK" I go - well it's actually called Duke Children's Hospital but the 'rents call it "dook" :-) I'll bet even those silly unc fans agree with us on this one. Hopefully we can finally find out what is going on with me and I may even sport a dark blue polo 'cause you never know what helps, right? Speaking of clothes - went and scored some new ones since the laundry fairy seems not to come often enough to keep up with me and school days with lots of playing in the dirt, paint, crayons, chalk, etc... I am LOVED and Mama is a sucker for spiffy boys clothes :)

...Anyways the appointment is with a pediatric gastroenterologist (mommy spell checked it for me since i'm not so great at spelling yet) and my new pediatrician was able to get me in wicked fast like! The actual appointment they gave the nurse was June of 2010!!! YIKES! Oh a good note when I went to the doc on Monday I had maintained the weight I had gained from the week before - go me! It could have something to do with eating two pamcakes in the morning before I go to school and eat breakfast :-) Ask anybody and they'll say if I am around food - you better give it to me or I'll grunt and I'll grunt and maybe blow down the house ;-)

so cross fingers & toes and anything else you got -

appreciate it -

Little Dribbler

Saturday mornings and some afternoons we go play at the park near our house. This time I got to use my brand new soccer ball and dribble around with Daddy! It was so much fun and I love to run the fields and get crazy :-) Next year maybe I'll be scoring a few goals!

This little dribbler is tired now!

Exciting news - Miss Jessie is on the way to the hospital to have her baby boy Julien (my new playmate)!! He's a tad late - 7 days to be exact! Hoping for a quick pop out :-) We'll be off to go see them as long as its during normal waking hours! Although I'll be stuck waiting in the lobby :(

On another note, I've been getting not so much better lately so I'm off to another appointment today for some new symptoms and just feeling yucky :( Soo hoping my new doc gets me fiqured out asap!! I mean dude - I've been sick waaay over a month now and it is getting OLD!

We saw my cuz Conner over the weekend and it is getting waaaaayyy fun to play with him now! I do cheat as he can't crawl yet but Mama says pretty soon it'll be an even battle for toys! :-) Thanks again Aunt J and Uncle B for letting me crash in your room while the big people partied!

Moving news - T Minus 38 days until we are in the new house!! I'll have my big playroom back and a big yard to play in! WOO HOO

K my peeps, I'll hit ya up with an update later.
