We just love the little arm "muscles" Jack has! He is a beefy boy.Jack had his two month check-up at the doctor's yesterday. He is officially 16 pounds and 12 ounces! I had guessed he was around 15 pounds, because his carrier is really starting to get heavy...but I didn't know he was that big!
We had a bit of a rough visit at the doctor's yesterday. He pointed out that Jack's head is a bit flat on one side, so now we're all paranoid trying to get him not to lay on that side, which he definitely does favor. However...it's the demeanor of the doctor that bothers me. He always answers my questions like they are totally obvious. Well...if they were so obvious, then would I be asking them? I'm a new mommy here - cut me some slack!
Anyway, we're giving him one more shot at the 4 month check-up and if things don't improve then we're going to find somewhere else to go. Aunt Amy had a great point yesterday...if I don't like the doctor when Jack is well then I'm certainly going to have a tougher time with him when Jack is not feeling so hot. Thankfully, we haven't had to cross that bridge yet. I think I just don't have great luck with doctors. The same thing happened when I was pregnant; the more times I visited that practice the more I was ready to look elsewhere. Thankfully, we found Dr. Arshad who safely delivered our healthy, big boy.
If anyone has thoughts on picking a pediatrician, I'd welcome them...
Wow, he's getting to be a big boy!!!! I know the feeling about the doctors. Sometimes I feel like they are worthless or that I could do the same job as they can. I agree with your sister though. You need to find one that you like when he's well, because you will be very stressed out when he's sick and if the doc is annoying you, it will only make it worse.
ReplyDeleteso glad to find your blog!! What pediatrician do you go to? I got your message, but things were a bit crazy as we were heading out of town. I can give you the name and number of mine--it's the same one as Kelly Means and Jessica Harman, and Tutti just switched to him as well. We have been pleased with him so far.
