Blah blah blog

I haven't really had the "itch" to write lately, not sure why. Maybe it is because I have been sick as a dog and am finally recovering from my ear infection and double pink eye, or maybe because I am starting to become anxious again...or maybe just a combo of a bunch of things!  When I say anxious I mean that things feel just too good to be true. Noah is good. We are good. Is it really that simple? I found a blog about a little girl who was just diagnosed with a rare metabolic disorder ( check out littlemisshannah.com to read more). 
As some of you know a metabolic issue was one of the things "thrown" around when I had Noah. We had some blood tests done last spring which came back mostly normal but did show an elevated liver something or other. The geneticist felt he didn't need to see us again but did have us re-do the blood test to re-check the liver thing, I never heard back from the (august) and assumed all was well. Well  since reading about all these horrible degenerative childhood metabolic diseases I have been wracking my brain, worrying and obsessing. A lot of the really bad ones involve the liver. So now I am scared. I plan on talking to the pediatrician at his 15 month appointment next month and I am sure it is probably nothing and if it was that bad the geneticist wouldn't have sent us on our merry way...but and there is always a BUT, it just sucks to worry about these things!
Sometimes I feel like when things are too good to be true I find things to worry about, it seems to be a pattern with me. Will it ever end? Or will I need to spend my life savings on therapy to figure it all out???

I worried incessantly during Max's two first years of life. And I got therapy, I mentioned it in my blog today--I wrote it for moms of young kids, like you.
