My mood while writing this blog: blessed

hello everyone! esme turned two june 14th. we got her a sand box with purple sand. she likes to throw it in my garden. lol she is growing like crazy. i think she was 26lbs . i forget the height but that was average as well. she is completely talking and i love to here her sing. her favorite song is wheels on the bus and if your happy and you know it. she also likes to dance and sing our alternitive christian music(casting crowns) i love that she is starting to let her hair along when i do it. her hair is to the end of her sholder blades so it is nice and long to do things with it. she eats ok. i am so much softer with her then i was with my others so i cave when she asks for things. so when it is time to eat a meal she does not always eat as i gave her too much not to long ago. thankfully she loves fruit and carrots so that is something that i give her on a daily basis. the only issue i am having with her is that she is mean. she hits her siblings . then you yell at her and she rubs them. i noticed that her right breast had a lump in it. i was not too worried as i know when they are born they have that lump and it is normal and goes away. i am still breastfeeding so i figure it was baby related. but i did mention it to the dr at her checkup. she sent her for an u/s as he said that she is too old to have the baby breast buds. he also said it did not feel so much like it. the u/s said it was breast tissue. he had mention that it could be do to bf and when i told him my plan has been to stop when she turned 2. so he said i may want to work on that to see if it makes it go away as he said she may be getting extra estrogen. she was nursing a bout 4 times a day and is now down to bed time and throught the night if she wakes up. and in the next week or so i will take away bed. throughout the night will be the hardest as i am half asleep and not really aware of what i am doing. the drs called and talked to a surgeon about a biopsy and she too recommend i stop to see if it goes away. but she thinks i should see a ped surgeon. i am not too worried about it. i have been having some ibs issues and irreg periods for the past 6weeks. so i think my hormones are all messed up. i also have been having cyst on my ovaries this past 18mos and i never had them before. at least that were noticed. i have had some different test done and i just saw the gyn. he thinks all my issues are ibs related and i am fine. i asked if i can have my hormones checked to be safe and he did do it but he doesnt think anything is wrong and does not think that bf is what is causing esmes breast tissue. he was a new gyn for me. i am not sure i will go back to him. i will get the bloodwork results next week. i do hope that everything gets figured out as i would like to be healthy and normal again. i am getting anointed this sunday. i also cut gluten out of my diet and am taking an antispasm pill and am started to feel a bit better. i had lost 5lbs in 1-2wks. although i was happy for that. have any of your dd had lumps in their breast?

my son had to see a cardiologist to make sure the murmur and leaky valve were normal. and yes they were. praise God! he is also going to be evaluated for speech next week. not so much for speech but he is a tongue thruster that he develoed from prolonged paci and enlarged tonsils that he ended up having removed at 2. this tongue thrusting has caused and open bite. he will eventually need braces but it will only benefit him if he no longer does the thrusting. my other girls are healthy and enjoying summer. my oldest finally learded how to ride a bike without training wheels. she is 10 can make cakes and pancakes and do laundry but could not ride without trainign wheels. lol we are working on the 7 yr old next. my oldest just got her ears repeirest as her prize for learning. thankfully the oldest can both swim without asst. and jump of diving boards. well i think that is all. my husband just got a 2011 nissan pathfinder so we are having to push purchase of land back till january. but know he has a car that is good. i hope you all enjoy your holiday and summer. many blessings to all of you.
