Doc's Appointment + Day 25

"I have found my personal journal an ideal environment in which to 'become'. It is a perfect place for me to think, feel, discover, expand, remember, and dream." - Brad Wilcox

The quote really has no corresponding part to the main part of this entry, but to the secret at the end. Just in case you were confused. :)

Yesterday, David had his 2-month appointment. Yes, he is 2 1/2 months old, but that doesn't matter. :) The appointment went well. The doctor who looked at David said he was growing well, that his eyes seem to be a little bit clearer (he has blocked tear ducts), and that as long as he's gaining weight well, that his spitting up is under control. Yay!

Here are his stats:

• Head: 16 inches (65%)
• Height: 24 1/4 inches (85%)
• Weight: 13 lbs 7 1/2 oz (76%)

It's funny, because he's almost exactly the same size as Andrew was at this age. According to Andrew's growth chart, at 2 1/2 months, these were his stats: head - 16.5 inches, height - 24.5 inches, and weight - 13.8 lbs. So Andrew was a little bigger, but Andrew just did (and does!) everything bigger. :)

David also got his first immunizations, and spent the rest of yesterday looking like this:

The poor guy was just completely knocked out. From just before we left the pediatricians (at 11:30am) until we went to bed last night around midnight, he only ate 3 times. And he was awake for probably a total of 45 minutes. Needless to say, he's been awake a LOT longer today, which makes me happy. I love seeing his dark blue eyes and his happy smile.

Day 25 - What you would find in my bag

Considering I don't really have a purse and just use the diaper bag all the time, there's really nothing of interest in my bag! There's diapers, wipes, a change of clothes for David, toys for Andrew, chap stick and my cards... and that's about it. Exciting, no?

Secret: I'm a really bad journal-writer. I get good for a couple weeks... or a couple days... and then I slip up and don't write for months. I'm trying to do better now. I've written almost every day this week, and I plan to keep it up. Do you have a journal? Actually, the right question for me to ask is this: do you WRITE in your journal? Do you wish you were better at it if you don't write in it?
