One Month Check-Up

Today we went to the pediatrician. Natalie only cried a couple of times when the doctor was examining her. She now weighs 8 pounds, 11 ounces. They measured her length at 21.5 inches and her head circumference at 37 centimeters. According to the doctor, Natalie is in the 50-55 percentile on all her measurements. She also said everything else looked great and for us to keep up whatever we are doing!

Bobby was supposed to meet us at the doctor office, but got stuck at work and plus he didn't want to have to wait in the waiting room for an hour like we did at her first appointment. However, when Natalie and I got to the office, we were the only ones in the waiting room and had gotten out of there within 45 minutes of when we arrived! I was pretty impressed, especially because of the length of our last trip there!

By the time we had gotten back home, I was not feeling well at all and was running a fever of 100.3! Ugh! Obviously I have an infection going on somewhere since I was feeling like this last week too. Luckily I have a doctor appointment tomorrow, so hopefully they can put me on something (even though I am not one to want to take antibiotics) because the ibuprofen is only masking my symptoms! I had a little talk with Miss Natalie about how she needed to be good until Daddy got home since Mommy wasn't feeling well, and she was good and took a little nap with me. The nap was definitely needed.

By the time Bobby got home from work and Natalie was fed and I pumped, it was still light out! So, we took a little walk around the neighborhood since it was in the high 50's/low 60's outside. Natalie went right to sleep during our walk, but woke up as soon as we got home! I hope she continues to love the car rides and stroller rides because there are going to be many more in our future! Tomorrow is supposed to be 70 degrees, so hopefully before or after my doctor appointment we can take another walk! I love springtime when you can finally get out and do things!

I cannot believe Natalie will ONE MONTH OLD tomorrow! It's so bittersweet, but I feel so blessed to have such a perfectly healthy little girl! I know Bobby loves it too! He is such a good dad, and I know they will be such great buddies!
