I am here

We used to travel extensively. Weekends for leisure and weekdays for work. We also used to work like dogs...80-hr week was a common theme. That all came to a stop when I found out I was pregnant with bebis. Seems so long ago.

Ever since bebis was born, I took an extended leave of absence and decided to stay home. Work can always wait, I figure. I wouldn't want to miss bebis' first smile, the first words, the first crawl, etc...wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Those who have known me for a long time were (and still are) surprised by my decision to stay home. "You'd go crazy!" said some. "It's very tough!" said the others. Well, have I been known to do things the easy way? I quite enjoy it. Yes, he is a handful especially because he has so much energy. But that's ok. Much rather have an active and smiley baby than a round blob.

So here is our journey...

Spoke too soon!

Of course as luck would have it, the little guy is flaring up again. Could it be the food from Cosi (hummus?), or Mon Ami Gabi (but then it was just salmon and I thought I ordered it w/o all the known allergens already)? Or is it just...nature of the beast? (Hate that)

Just right when we thought we were on the right track...it started w/ the legs three days ago, and it is slowly spreading its way. Though not as much as it were last time around.

We are now using a more potent steroid with Vanicream. I don't like either of this, but it doesn't seem like we have any other options. We are going to follow the doctor's recommendations, for a change.

Poor guy...let's hope we made the right decision for him. I am still hanging onto the hope that one day, we will see light at the end of the tunnel.

Meanwhile, we are taking him in for the 9-month wellness visit tomorrow. And he will be getting the MMR shot ahead of schedule due to our travel in two weeks. From everything I have read, he would likely have a flare up again due to the vaccine.

Great...
