6 month doctor visit

Submitted by Eliana on Thu, 07/10/2008 - 8:32pm

I saw a new doctor today. She and Mommy found out they went to college together! We may have to keep her, she was nice. William will try out another doctor in a couple months and then we'll decide. I liked the nurse, too. I smiled at her a lot and was very happy. She weighed and measured me. Mommy couldn't believe I didn't break 14 pounds - I was 13 lbs 15 oz! I should have waited until after the appointment to fill that diaper. I was 25 inches long, but that measurement is a little more subjective. Mommy thought the nurse shorted me a bit. It was hard for her to keep her mouth shut. But either way, I was charting perfect growth right along the curve. I would give you my exact percentiles, but Mommy had to call back to the doctor's office to get my packet mailed out. I was so distraught when we were leaving the exam room that she forgot to grab the envelope with my measurements on it. She had her hands full carrying me in one hand and my carseat (which I did NOT want to go into) in the other. I was very upset about the shots they gave me. I was such a good girl and I didn't deserve it! I made sure to look around and memorize that place because I don't want to go back there if that's the way they treat babies!

Editor's note: Don't tell Eliana that the nurse she liked actually gave her the shots. I noticed that she slipped out of the room faster than you could blink after the shots were done. Smart woman. I don't think Ellie had any idea what she had just done to her. The second nurse gave her the oral vaccine, blew the bubbles and stayed to give the rest of the info. It doesn't matter if she hates her. :)
