Denim has finally arrived!!!

Congrats Damon & Jenna!! Their little girl finally arrived on Monday May 28th. After many endless days of waiting DENIM finally decided to bless this family with a girl. She totally looks like Jenna to me. As much as I wanted her to look like a Lines I guess I'll settle for a Bates. (J/k Jenn, Ang. and Krista. ) Much to all of our astonishment Denim weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds. Way to go Jenn!! Isn't she the cutest!! Since Jenn no longer has a blog if any of you wish to leave her a comment I'll make sure she sees it.

SLIM

Tytan's G.I. is extremely worried about his weight. He is so under weight he has finally given me an ultimatum I either put 1 pound of weight on him in the next 2 weeks or he is putting a feeding tube in. I know some of you are thinking "only 1 measley little pound" but I swear that is a huge amount in Tytan's world. I have mixed feelings about this entire ultimatum. I would love a feeding tube just so I wouldn't have to hold him down and force feed him every few hours, but I also could never ever handle my baby having to have a tube up his nose for weeks on end. Last time they made him wear arm braces so he couldn't bend his arms. I think that was way harder to watch then having to deal with his feeding issues. Any way so as of last week all he ate was pudding, butter (yes you read it correctly Butter), and Pediasure. The doc. nixed the pudding and now he is on a straight liquid diet again. Only melted butter and Pediasure which is feed to him via syringe. I hate having to do this to him but I know the alternative route and I am not going for it. This pic. I posted is him actually enjoying a good chocolate pudding before the doc. so cruelly took that away. This entry is labeled "Slim" because that is his nickname around our house now for obvious reasons.

Welcome Blancos

Maren Blanco finally decided to jump on the band wagon and become a blogger. Welcome little Mare Bear. Check out her page, her little girl Melia is pretty darn cute!!!

One of a kind

I saw this fun little thing on Ginger's page so I figured I'd give it a try. To my delight I learned I'm one of a kind. I'm the only one in the US with my first and last name. It always seemed like everyone had the name Meggan or Nielson so I figured at least someone should have the two combined. 3,019 people in the U.S have Meggan as there first name and its the 3,176th most popular. There are 15,789 people with Nielson as their last name and its the 2,415th most popular. This is fun and easy give it a try!!

New family pic.

We finally got an updated family picture. You have to love the cheap Target photo center. Tytan also got a pic. for his eight month scrapbook page. Tytan was exhausted the entire photo shoot so we were lucky to get these two with him happy. He wouldn't even crack a semi smile.

Hospital Stay

Tytan finally had his long awaited tests to see why he won't eat, drink, and gain weight. He first had an endoscopy and a biopsy taken of his esophagus, stomach, and upper intestines. The endoscopy showed that all three of those areas are bleeding, swollen, and have white lesions on them. I felt so bad to know I've been forcing him to eat but it is hurting him so bad. The doctor was very vague and says he won't tell me anything else until the biopsy results come back which will be hopefully the end of this week. Tytan then had to stay in the hospital 24 hours so they could do a PH probe test. A PH probe is a tube that goes up his nose and into his esophagus to measure how much acid he has in there. He was actually very good at not touching it until a half hour before they were supposed to take it out he pulled it out himself. I was so embarrassed to tell the doctor but it all worked out. Thanks for all of you that were so helpful while we were at the hospital. I really appreciate it so much!!
