Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Having a hard time...T&P

Baby Annie is doing fantastic.  Her big brother (3 1/2) is struggling.  We are in the midst of testing and seeking help from a specialist for a potential autoimmune condition (lupus or rheumatoid arthritis).  I feel like my heart is breaking.  It's a long story that spans the past three years.  Finally we are getting him the help I always felt in my gut he needed with little help from his pediatrician.  I'm scared, angry, and oh so worried for my sweet baby boy.  We won't have answers for a while as the wait to get into the specialist is about six weeks.  I'm doing my best to be mommy warrior and keep a brave front but it collapses after he's asleep and I cry and worry.  Our bright and shiny future now seems so scary and dark.  The life I imagined for him may be so different.  We had hoped to maybe have another baby and now it seems like a distant dream.  I will fight for his health and love him with all that I have.  Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
