Random feeling and short update

I dislike that this board is moving so fast. I don't feel like spending a ton of time on here right now (not sure why because all I do is lay around all day since I am on "bed rest"). Because the board moves so fast, I feel like why even bother because by the time I get to things I feel like no one will even bother reading it.
Short update - We had Grant's 9 month appointment a few days ago. Grant is being referred to a developmental specialist in Indianapolis (about 2 hours away from me). I'm not sure when the appointment is going to be scheduled for yet, but I hope I will only have to wait a month or two. From what I heard it can take up to a year to get an appointment with some developmental specialists. Also, he is also 17lbs 2.2oz which is between the 3-5 percentile for his age. So, he has been on the charts for a couple of months in a row! Yay!

Re: Random feeling and short update
My Colton...Growing up so fast!
And Coralee, his baby sister...On the way!
Please don't feel like we move too fast for you, we want you around! I go back and check a lot of the threads I participate in for new comments, and I bet I'm not the only one.
Who are you seeing in Indy? A friend of mine is taking her baby somewhere up there in two weeks for a developmental consult.

I'm not sure yet. It is a process to get the referral, well, processed. Since I transferred pediatricians recently my new pedi has to get my records. Then once they get the records, my new pedi will have to send them down to the specialist where they will look at the records, talk to my pediatrician, then tell my pediatrician to have me call the specialist to schedule an appointment. That is pretty much all I know right now.
How are YOU? How are things with your DH?
I really do miss seeing you post... You're definitely in my TPs.

I'm not so good. They changed my pain meds from Oxycodone to Hydrocodone and I really don't think my body responds to hydrocodone like it is suppose to because they don't do anything for me. I have been having so much trouble sleeping that I get depressed in the evenings because I dread the morning. I broke down crying tonight to my mom, so she offered to take Grant tomorrow night. I have decided that I am going to talk to someone (professional) about my problems. I started looking for someone the other day, did some research and left a message at an office that never returned my call, so now I feel like I need to start looking for someone all over again because why would I want to go somewhere that doesn't even return phone calls?!
Things are good with DH considering everything that is going on. I'm not really sure what more to say there. He is a genially great guy. I am really pushing his buttons lately, and he is dealing with it rather well. I don't like who I am right now, and he seems to like me more than I do. haha. so that's good.
Fwiw, I sort the board by most recent response, so even if you respond to an older thread, it pops to the top of my list and I check it out.
Hope you're able to find someone to talk to ASAP, and that you start feeling better soon.
I feel this way too! By the time I get home from work and can respond to UOs or FFFCs for example, I feel like everyone is sick of them and they have moved on. I have definitely started posting less lately as a result! I just can't keep up with it and have zero time at work to even get on. Today I had to choose between going to the bathroom and eating my lunch in the 5 minutes I had!
And, I'm so glad to hear that Grant is on the charts again! Hope you get in to see the developmental specialist ASAP. I also hope that you start feeling better. I can't imagine everything that you are going through. Keep us posted.
I'm glad things are going well with your hubs.
I think that you talking to someone is a great idea. Don't let a sucky receptionist deter you from getting the help you need.

He is bigger than Allison! She hasn't cracked 17 lbs. yet - I feel like he should be higher on the % but who knows!
So happy to hear from you...I was worried about you.
The board does move fast but I always look all the way through just to make sure I don't miss anything.
I'm happy to hear you are looking for someone to talk to, actually, I'm sort of proud of you for seeing that you have that option (don't ask, I sort of think of you as a kid sister!).
Keep us updated on both YOU and Grant...we love ya' both!
I never knew this was an option ... how do I do this??
Preggers, I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. Being stuck in bed all day long and (I assume) feeling bored and lonely just sucks!! I'm glad you recognize that talking to someone would be helpful to you. (I'm silently cursing the office that didn't have the courtesy to call you back!)
However, the news about Grant's growth and weight is great! I know he's being referred for a consultation, but I swear I read one of your posts saying he's crawling. Did I imagine that??
I can only imagine how hard everything is for you right now and how much pain you're feeling. Hang in there, Preggers! We're all here for you!!

I wish he was crawling!! He can't even extend his arms to push up during tummy time. He can't even roll over unless I prop him up on his elbows. My original goal was to have him crawling by one, but after watching him during therapy I started to think that goal was unreasonable. Our OT said she doesn't think he will be crawling by 1. It is ridiculous how far behind he is. Most of his skills are at a 4 month old level.
I use this website: https://www.justmommies.com/articles/infants_growth_calculator.shtml and I feel like it is pretty accurate. I think there must just be a big difference in the weight charts for boys and girls.
I feel the same way about the board sometimes...I miss all the drama but it is fun reading it later
17lbs seems to be big to me but then again I also have a small baby and I am VERY nervous about her 9month apt in a few weeks. I tried to weigh her on my scale at home and it said 14lbs....that is the same size as her 7 month appointment..
I always tell people a small baby is great because she is wearing mostly 3 month clothes and some 3-6 month clothes....we get soooo much use out of her clothes it is more than worth the money we spend on them. She has been wearing 3 month clothes since July.
Hang in there momma and keep up updated!
