I remember Adam's first doctor's visit...how nervous I was to take him anywhere...Todd coming home to drive us...not sure if I was ready to leave the house. This time, I was so much more confident and laid back. Todd couldn't go with us as he had to come home and sit with Adam...who went to sleep late so Todd just ran Butlerville from the kitchen table.
The doctor's office is literally three blocks away...right on the edge of Fort Ontario. Dr. Christina Liepke is my doctor, Adam's doctor and now Abbey's. Her husband is a pediatrician and saw Abigail in the hospital. We like them both but they are the stereotypical straight-laced white really smart they have to figure out how to relate to the rest of us doctor-types with two young boys of their own. Her sense of humor is so dry you can't even tell he's joking and I think he's too smart to joke..! Ha
I made the nurse let me take her photo...convinced I can't be the first mom to do that.
Abigail is a really good baby..until she's hungry. She let it loose and started YELLING as the nurse was handling her...she went there hungry and she had enough. So, I had to take a "nursing" break just so she wouldn't burst an artery. Ha ten minutes and my girl calmed down...I understand her...a good meal calms me down, too.
Abbey was weighedin at 8 lbs 2 oz...and was "shorter" at 20 inches (nurse says it happens it all time her measurement is different..um her and the hospital may want to collaborate on this!! Healthy in every way. No ill affects from the diabetes I worked so hard to control. :)
Maybe there is something to this measurement thing... Katie had also gotten "shorter" upon her firt Dr's visit!!
ReplyDeleteSt Joseph doesn't measure their babies until right before you leave. I kept asking them how long Brianna was and they told me they wait until they stretch out some and that the first measurement wasn't really accurate.
ReplyDeleteI have been so busy this week, I'm so behind with my blog reading...and you picked up the pace. I love your description of doctors :-) and I love that she screwed up the appointment by insisting that she eat NOW. Love that girl.
