On November 14th Luc had his 2 month doctor appointment. Luc weighed 13 pounds 2 ounces. He was 24.25 inches and his head circumference was 39 inches. He was in the 70th% for weight, 93rd% for height and 44.45th% for head circumference. He had to be woken up half way through a long nap for the appointment and cried the entire way there. I nursed him as soon as we got there then changed his diaper. We haven't had any of the issues we had with Hudson so I was excited to show the doctor Luc's dirty diaper to demonstrate how normal his poops were. As soon as I opened the diaper though, I noticed it was green and had blood in it. I was devastated. Luc did a big burp then seemed to be content, meanwhile I was frantically texting Nic and trying not to burst into tears. After Luc's weight check and measurements we waited for the doctor. The diaper was sent for testing even though we both already knew what the result was going to be. Dr. Sethi and I discussed how we should handle this new information. We agreed that I would continue eating normal, but I would keep a food journal tracking everything I ate, descriptions of Luc's diaper contents as well as any behavior changes to try and decipher what was causing his stomach problems. Aside from the blood/tummy issue, Luc was healthy as can be. By the end of the appointment, my little sweetie fell asleep in my arms. 
That night Jenn came over and watched the boys for a few hours so Nic and I could have a date night. We grabbed sushi at Mr. Sushi then a pazookie at BJs. It was great to get out and I really savored my meal knowing that another elimination diet was most likely in my future.
