The Doctor's Office


We had our two-month check-up today, and all is looking good. Joey's still a bit congested, but it's not in his chest at all, and the doctor just said to keep at it with suctioning and the saline drops. He weighed in at 12 lbs 7 oz, so clearly mom and dad are getting a better workout every day. His length didn't seem to change at all, but the doctor thinks that it was just a measuring error. (Joey really heights the scale, mostly, I think because he has to be naked on it, and it's not exactly warm in the doctor's office. So he tends to curl up a bit and not really want to extend his legs at all.) In case you were worried, his head circumference is also measuring "normal". He did get the DTaP and pneumococcal shots today, so he wasn't a happy camper. Fortunately, he got the shots right around nap time, so he's happily dozing away in his car seat. Now we just hope he doesn't get a fever (which is apparently common with these shots).

The above picture is from last Sunday, December 28th. The only Bears fans in Easton that day. (If the Bears and Vi-queens won, the Eagles would've been out of the playoffs.)

You wouldn't have wanted the Eagles NOT to make the playoffs, would you? Your Dad would be so disappointed. Glad everything is good with "the boy" too.

I need an online mom's group I think. :-) You said shots were right near nap time - do you have Joey on a specific nap schedule then? If so, what is it and how do you get him to be on it? Just stick him in his crib at naptime or something? Geneva isn't on a schedule yet and I'm wondering if she should be.

No, I wanted the Eagles to make the play-offs. Joe and Joey were the only Bears fans ;-)
