Marissa had her two-month appointment today and everything checked out great. She now weighs 11 lbs 3 oz and is 22 inches long. The doctor was impressed that she's already sleeping through the night and told us we were lucky (I hear that a lot now and it's true...but I did work hard to get her to do this on her own...I guess the work paid off). I had a list of questions that we went through (everything from napping and what's normal to poop questions to feeding, etc). Seems like we're doing what we're supposed to.
Of course she pooped right before the doctor came into the exam room. She has done this a couple times at the doctor now. Dr. Fleming actually changed her diaper for us. Dr. Fleming is pregnant herself with her third baby so I think she's pretty good at changing diapers :-)
I sometimes think about how much easier this whole parenting thing would be if you were a pediatrician.
She also had all her vaccinations today, which was awful...the nurse held her while I stood by and watched (and cried). She screamed her head off and turned bright red (angry, very angry). I took her in the exam room and nursed her for a few minutes and she calmed down, I got her dressed and we came home. She's napping now...I think the trauma wore her out! Next checkup is at 4 months.
I like going to the doctor to get reassured that everything is OK.
