I figured I should give you all an update. Andy is all better now. We took him to the pediatrician, and she found nothing wrong. She did say that his molars were swollen and it could be constipation. I figured it was the teeth, so we bought motrin (better for the swelling than tylenol I guess) and benedryl to help him sleep. And sleep he did, a big four hour nap. We also gave him a ton of apple juice to help with his intestines just in case. He ate dinner fine, and then he had the hardest poopy ever. Poor little guy was constipated. He's never had a problem here, so we were quite surprised. But after that things were fine. He slept great last night, as did we. And I am so happy that this is over and that it happened over a weekend so I didn't have to have him alone exhausted.

Any thoughts about having a second child any time soon are now out the window. I need Andy to communicate his needs before I start this all over again.

Our pediatrician doesn't do the 15 month check up. Funny that we went in two days shy of his 15 month birthday. They did weigh him, and he was just over 30 lbs! Biggest baby ever. And he's still not walking, so I get to carry the big beast of a baby that I have all over. I do have excellent arm muscles now.

As for me, I am doing well on a diet! I hit my all time low since getting pregnant yesterday, and I'm about 5 lbs away from my goal. Of course, I may lower the goal a bit once I get closer, but at least I'm making progress. And while I'm having a butterbeer every night!

Thanks to everyone who offered advice and suggestions, I really appreciate it!!!
