What was I thinking...

First off I want to say that blogger changed the way they save drafts.  When you are done with draft it doesn't go to the day you wrote the blog but to the day you finish it.  I don't like that.  So throughout this blog it might be out of order I wrote this one on Aug 17th.  Anyway I must not worry I fret over too many things in life.


Today 8/17 was Londyn's 4 month well visit. I was really excited for her to start eating cereal, but also sad because this was the first well visit I couldn't attend. I started work 3 weeks ago and it hasn't been easy. Well I must say the first week was easy, it was nice to get out of the house and talk to adults. The second week I missed her a lot.  It's great that she is the happiest in the morning so I get to enjoy 1/2 hour with her in the am before going to work. It's just hard for me working in NYC getting up at 530 AM and coming home at 7 PM spending 2 hours with her and then putting her to bed, then myself to bed. When is there anytime to do anything and try to be a perfect mother? I need a cleaning lady and personal chef!

So who do I trust the most to make sure they get all the information at doctor visit? Well I figured I would send Josh and even sit with him to explain what questions I had and what he needs to do. Make sure you listen to what we need to do as far as cereal, make sure ask these two questions, maybe I wasn't clear on the LISTEN point. I don't want to bash him since this is a positive blog but I will never send him to another doctor appointment. OK I do admit I am a bit crazy when it comes to this new mother thing. I make sure I am writing down everything such as shots and I follow directions. I asked him 5 questions that I think should have been asked or remembered.
#1 What is the process with the feeding? when do I stop the cereal and start with veggies etc?
#2 What shots did she get?
#3 When should I come back for my next appointment?
#4 What does this paper from the doctor say? (because you know you can never read their handwriting)
#5 What percentile is she in?

This answer to all questions was I don't know. Maybe I went a little over board but I'm not sure why I sent him if I thought I would have to call tomorrow and ask them to recap the appointment. Uhhhh...

Anyway we will most likely start cereal on Saturday. I am going to try my hardest to feed Londyn as much organic food as I can. It's easy in the beginning so hopefully when she starts eating real food I won't slack. Here are her stats below, she gained 2.7 pounds in 2 months yay Londyn.

11 lbs 7 oz
23 1/2 height
16 head
