Sawyer's Visit to the Doctor

Sawyer saw the doctor today for his two month check up. I was not looking forward to the visit for several reasons. The first being I have learned it is much more difficult to take two kids to the doctor than one, especially when one of them can't be strapped down in a car seat. The last time we went we had to wait for an hour and Audrey got in a fight with some kid in the waiting room who didn't even speak English. She ended up knocking over his chair and he ended up screaming. Needless to say, I wasn't looking forward to that again. Luckily we didn't have to wait today so there were no fights in the waiting room. I also wasn't looking forward to all the vaccines. I only wanted to get one at a time but of course the doctors always try to convince you otherwise. Even if there is no link to autism, I can't help my paranoia after 5 years of teaching special ed.

Sawyer weighed 12 lbs 10 oz and was 24 in long. I can't believe he's gained exactly 5 lbs since birth and grown 3 inches!! No wonder newborns eat and sleep so much. I ended up just getting him one vaccine, the rotavirus vaccine. He didn't mind it at all because it was oral. The nurse said it is grape flavored and apparently Sawyer really likes grapes because he was all smiles after drinking it down. Overall the visit went well and Sawyer got a clean bill of health.

10 hours a night? Are you sure your baby isn't slipping into a baby coma each night? That is incredible!
