Abby's 2 month

Abby had her 2 month check up today. Yes, we were a month late but her pediatrician didn't mind. It's normal...plus with all the junk we have been dealing with the past 3 months it's not a big deal.

Her stats:

Height- 25 inches which is 98%
Weight- 12 lbs. 15 oz. which is 50%
Head- 42 1/3 cm which is 98%

She is right on track and showing no signs of further breathing issues or other distress. Her pediatrician is really happy with how she is eating, sleeping and progressing. She actually was very surprised that she doesn't have any further respiratory issues since her fast birth and some breathins issues at birth and then when she had RSV and was in the hospital in January.

She then turned to me and we chatted about my post partum test that I kind of failed. She said there have been some changes in my answers and wanted to make sure I was doing okay. She is a newer pediatrican for us and doesn't know the whole story of what has been going on with us the last few months. She wanted to be filled in so I started at the beginning....

Abby's crazy birth.
Brandon with ear infection.

Mom with pneumonia, strep throat, sinus infection, bluging ear drum, blisters on throat and possible tonsils needing to be removed (luckily the antibiotics cleared it up).
Mom has no voice for over a week. Dr was worried about damage to voice box.
Mom's Grandma has stroke-back in hospital.



Once she heard just a few parts of our past 3 months she had no worries. She said, "Well, it sounds like you have no post partum...just a bunch of crap going on and are handling it pretty well." She blamed it on MN Winters. So, in a way it was a compliment. She made note in Abby's chart that our family was hit hard with illness and stress the last few months and we are doing okay...no concerns.

We left happy (well, Abby had some sore legs with 3 shots) but all went well and we are all getting back to normal.
