Dr appt update ;o)


Well our little man did so well at his doctor visit yesterday as well as his eye visit today. He weighed 5lbs 4oz and is 17 1/4 in long!!! What a change from a 1lb baby huh!! He had to have his 1st set of shots which wasnt to bad he cried alittle bit. Then the doctor stood him up on his feed, which a natural baby reflex is to try to walk and he took like 3-4 steps while Dr was holding him. He also tested some of his other reflexes, and he did awesome!!! He has a small hernia on his belly button but said that it will go away before he is 5 or 6 yrs old, his pee pee is ok to get circumsized so we are doing that on Mrch 13th EEEEKKKK poor guys. He said that when Ethan smiles at us he really is smiling sometimes its not all gas, AHHH. He also said it was good that he was holding his head up and that we still need to keep him away from alot of ppl but more visitors are ok as long as they are not sick and wash up REALLY good, so we will slowly start letting ppl meet him, no kids yet though because they have more germs than we do sorry. But overall Dr said he is doing really good for his age and will be seen again at his 4month check up, so he has an appt on March 13th to get his RSV shot and circumsize and then and appt on April 23rd to get his next set of shots.

Eye Doctor Update: They had to do the worse thing I have ever seen in my life, the prop his eye open with a clamp and they shine a bright light in there and poke around at his eye with this small ball like thing. It was horrible he was crying and mommy wanted to cry as well as beat the Nurse and Doctors ass because they were hurting my precious boy...ok anyway the update, Dr said his nerves are quiet yet completely done growing but they are looking good. He is doing good for his age, his eyes my wander still a bit and go cross-eyed sometimes but he will grow out of it. He goes in again in July to see if his eyes are all grown. He may have to have glasses for far away seeing but we dont know forsure Dr said things may change by July on his next visit and he may never need glasses which is good, but if he does need them we will get cute ones hehe.

So overall he had 2 great appts and I think he did an awesome job, what a big boy he is becoming! Mommy loves you Ethan!!!!
