...I can't think of a subject line...

First, I forgot to mention that Brandon flipped from belly to back on July 4th...he was getting mad and started rocking and just WHOOP.  Also, he gave his first "real" smile yesterday...to the ceiling fan :/

Today we took him for his 2 month checkup.  He's 12lbs 8oz and 22 inches long (grow, baby, grow).  I mentioned to him about his sinuses and he gave me a couple of meds (I guess he thinks it's a sinus infection).  Now...when the doc came in, he automatically pushed on Brandon's skin.  Then checked his eyes.  Then pushed on his abdomen.  Then checked his eyes again.  Then pushed on his abdomen again.  I knew what he was doing, so I asked if Brandon was jaundice.  He said he wasn't sure, but was sending him for labwork at the hospital tomorrow to check his liver function.  This all is scaring the shit out of me.  I was fighting tears when the nurse came in and gave him 4 shots (which brought screams and big crocodile tears, of course...from him and me).  All I could think of was little Noah who just passed away.  And how I had just mentioned to Alex a couple of days ago about Brandon's eyes looking a bit yellow where they should be white.  I'm so scared.  Unbelievably scared.  I can't lose him.  I can't.  Alex is trying hard to be strong for me, but I know he's terrorified, too.  He mumbled something in the car about finally getting a baby here and now having to worry if he can stay. 

Please pray it's nothing more then maybe needing a bili blanket or maybe not even that.  Please.

Thoughts and prayers that all is well with Brandon (((((((((Becky))))))))) I can only imagine what you must be going through.  I know we don't know each other well, but if you ever need to talk, vent, anything I'm just an IM away.
