I hope that getting it off my chest and on "paper" will make me forget about it. What am I talking about you wonder?? I am getting really sick of people telling me that my baby is behind. The people that feel the need to make these kinds of comments obviously do not realize how hurtful it can be to the mother of the child. My son was born nearly a month early, he may not have hit all the milestones other almost 4 months old have, but he is just FINE! If there was an issue, I am sure his pediatrician would say so. His pediatrician has also told us that we need to keep in mind that since he was born a little early, we might notice him hitting these milestones a little later than babies born at their full term. We work with him a lot, and we feel he is where he needs to be at. I have 3 other children, and have worked with children, specifically infants to 2 years old, and I can honestly say ALL BABIES DO DEVELOP AT DIFFERENT TIMES! Anyway, maybe now I will stop letting this issue bother me so much.
In other news, I went to the MD today. My MD thinks I have an infection in my right breast. Its been very tender and I have a hard time nursing Sterling on it. Afterwards I feel extreme pain and a hot stabbing feeling. It sucks. She gave me antibiotics, so hopefully it clears up soon.
Jeremy, Sterling and I will be making a trip to Seattle. We are going to visit The Keymers. I am really looking forward to seeing Melissa. I miss her so much and I really haven't had a real chance to talk to her, in quite some time. We hope to hit up IKEA, while we are there. We need some new drinking glasses, and the ones we really love, were purchase there. It will be interesting to drive with the baby, but I am sure he will do ok...well, at least I hope so!

I hate that! Sterling isn't behind on anything! And you're right, his doctor would have said something if there was a concern. It irritates me, too...when people would comment on Isla's speech. I was like, "I know she's not the best talker right now but her doctors aren't concerned. She's developing at her own rate!". People just need to learn to shut their mouths, sometimes. :)
Oh, I know what you mean. I have had people comment ALL THE TIME on Emma's speech. It drove me to the point of well, getting her evaluated! I think Isla is just fine :) She and I had some wonderful conversations!
