Emily and Claudia

I thought I would update on Emily and Claudia since Spencer is usually the talk of the town

On Tuesday we took both Emily and Claudia to see our Family doctor. Claudia has been complaining of stomach pains at school and daycare and is eating non-stop at home. We're not concerned about her weight, she's a solid kid. We're just used to seeing the tiny Claudia. Anyway our family doctor thinks it might be food allergies so she is going back to have the allergy testing done again. She also has this really cute little heart shap birthmark on her forehead. It's so cute, but it's not a birthmark, we found out shortly after she was born that it was a mole, now for the life of me I can't remember what it's called or even pronounce it. We were told when she was born that it would need to be removed before she hit puberty because it grows with the hormones. I noticed it would do this when I was breastfeeding her during that time of the month. So we go to see a dermatologist, to find out when it needs to be removed. She had blood work done, urine tested, if we don't hear anything by the end of the week, then the tests were all fine.

Emily is being referred to a female gyneacologist. Her AF is very heavy, she has a lot of cramping, gets headaches and has missed a fair bit of school because of this. Our family doctor has suggested that she be put on a mild birth control pill. I mean she developed so quickly, she started her AF at the age of 9. Now she doesn't even look like she's going to be 14. My baby is growing up. Emily is also being referred to the dermatologist, she has a huge wart on the bottom of her foot. It's about 5-6 cm. so we're not sure how they will remove it. My poor girl.

Poor Emily! I didn't get my first period until I was 14, but when I did I had horrible cramps and headaches with them every month. They were kind of heavy too, but nothing compared to how heavy they are now after having kids I guess. I hope you can find something that helps her! Good luck with Claudia's birth mark too ~ if you don't hear back from them does that mean it doesn't need to be removed at all?

We got the referals for the Dermotologist today, so we will find out what they are going to do about Emily's wart on her foot and when Claudia's birthmark will need to be removed. I will keep you all posted. Thanks!
