2 Month Doctor Visit



Has it really been two months? Time is flying! Andrew and I took Peter to the doctor today for his 2 month check-up. He is 24 inches long and 11 lbs 5 oz! I was so happy to see his weight gain. It's hard knowing how much milk he's getting when I'm nursing him, so knowing that he gained 2 lbs in the past month was very reassuring. He did great and didn't cry when the doctor examined him. Dr. Esparza listened to his heart for what seemed like longer than normal. He heard a slight heart murmur and wants us to get it checked out by a pediatric cardiologist. The doctor said that it is probably nothing to be concerned about, but he wants us to get it checked out just in case. The neonatologist in the NICU also heard a slight murmur. Please pray that it takes care of itself on its own and doesn't prove to be a concern!

Peter also had his 2 month vaccines today. 3 shots in the leg and one oral dose. Andrew held him because I just couldn't do it. Peter screamed when the shots went in, but he calmed down pretty quickly. Now we just continue praying that he doesn't have any reactions to the vaccines. He is now sound asleep in his carseat.
