Hypercolor Home: Like Mother, Like Son

So, I had my share of stomach problems after having Brody and it seems I've passed along the tummy troubles to my sweet sweet little baby. We found some blood in Brody's diaper last Wednesday which scared the heck out of me. I immediately called the on-call doctor in his pediatrician's office who told me since he wasn't running a fever or acting fussy to just keep an eye on things and call the office in the morning. So, I did and brought Brody in the next morning. They took a look at his diapers (I kept the ones we found blood in) and took a look at him and really couldn't offer any explanations for me. They gave me a couple of reasons it could have happened, but didn't really know for sure. And since it seemed to be going away, they told me to again, just keep an eye on it and if it got worse to call back. So, all weekend I kept watching and although the blood wasn't getting worse, it hadn't gone away at all, so I called back Monday morning. The doctor responded that he thought Brody should go see the gastroenterologist. So, we are scheduled to go in tomorrow morning and see the specialist. I'm trying to remain calm, but with every poopy diaper I change, it makes it very difficult. I can't help but wonder what could be wrong with my little angel. And since I'm breastfeeding, it makes me so sad to think it could possibly be ME causing the troubles for him. And it breaks my heart that he can't tell me if something hurts him.... I am just going to continue to pray for him until I can find out more. Keep Brody in your prayers for me too...

On a happier note, Brody is 4 weeks old today! And one of my favorite things about him right now (even though there are thousands) is that right before he drifts heavily off to sleep, he gives me the most precious dimply smile. I'm sure it's not a real smile, but it melts my heart none-the-less. :)

Here are some pics and videos to share...

He loves his "mummy" :)
