milk, it does a body good!

me and the doc...i wish the appt
would have ended with him
breastmilk, that is. at least that's what the pediatrician told us today. yep, i had my two month visit this morning. we met with dr. rubin...an airwalk-wearin', joke-crackin', wisdom-sharin' kind of guy. i really liked him. here are my stats for today:
  • Weight: 12 lbs. 14 oz (75th percentile)...holy cow mom, those things are loaded!
  • Height: 23 1/4 in (70th percentile)...at this rate, i'll be taller than both mommy and daddy!
  • Head circumference: 16 in (70th percentile)...i'm proud to be taking after my gampa!
so i gained almost 5 pounds in 6 weeks. a total champ and a total chunk! overall, the doc said i was normal and in perfect health!

of course, i then found out he was only buttering me up because then the bomb was dropped. "what's coming?" i asked. i didn't have to wait very long to find out. ashley seemed nice at first. she even complemented the kangas on my diaper.

yuck...this so wasn't breastmilk!
something just poked me
holy cow...something just impaled my leg!
you gotta be kidding me...you brought me here for this?
i don't think i like ashley anymore. as we left the pediatrician, i overheard daddy telling mommy it was a good thing i only got one shot today instead of three...something about an alternative schedule. i sure would hate to know what a regular schedule is!

off to the pediatrician

mommy and grammie took me for my first pediatrician appointment today. it was just a two-day follow-up to check my weight and my coloring. mommy was so excited when the nurse weighed me and i was 7 lbs. 3 oz. - already almost back to my birth weight. the doctor said that meant daddy no longer needed to give me supplemental formula and mommy no longer needed to pump. yeah, her milk is in and i am gaining like a champ!
