Two Months

Two posts in one week. I'm an a roll!
My little pumpkin is two months old already! Time is flying by. We went to the doctor yesterday for her two month appointment. She weighed in at 12 lbs 1 oz ( 75 percentile). She is 23 3/4 inches long. ( 90 percentile) And her head is 15 3/4 inches. ( 75 percentile.) So she is nice and long!



At two months, she smiles all the time and she is starting to coo. She is a strong baby. (The three nurses it took to hold her down on Monday when they were taking her blood agree with me!)



Health-wise....Mylin is doing great! We went to her specialist in LA on Monday and Mylin is great! It turns out the problem is with me and not Mylin, so that is good news! Her carnatine was low because mine was low and she was getting her nutrients from me. They took more blood and are running more tests to make sure she is still doing ok, so we'll know in a few weeks. (I wish life was like Grey's Anatomy where you go to the hospital and they run tests and you get the result in like 3 minutes. Not real life. Results take weeks!) So for right now she does not have to take the medicine because they started me on the medicine and she can still get it from me. So thanks for all the prayers on her behalf!

As for me, I'm now taking medicine three times a day. It's not too bad, except for the fact that it tastes like Power-Bait. But worse. It's nasty. Ugh..Anyways..So there are pretty much 2 reasons why my carnatine is low. One would be if I'm a carrier of the Carnatine Transmitor Disorder or the other reason would be that low carnatine is a symptom of some other metabolic disease. They ran tests to check my levels of carnatine to see if I'm responding to the medicine. They ran a DNA test to see if I'm a carrier and then more tests to check for other diseases. Low carnatine in adults lead to, among other things, fatigue and heart problems so I also had an EKG done and am having a heart-echo (?) done next week. Anyways..Lots of info...Now just waiting.

But in the meantime, here are some cute pictures of my cute little baby!



I love those lips! She does that pucker all the time!



Even though she is getting so big, she is still so tiny!
