Our double appointment this morning went
much better than last time. Lex went in for his 18 month check
up and ended up with a flu shot. Not surprising, he’s a healthy
and very smart boy. He’s up to 31″ and 24.5lbs. He even
counted, unprompted, for the pedi. She was impressed :) She is
very nice too. I’m excited to have found a nice doctor who is
planning on staying in the area for awhile. She even gave me
her email address! The only tiny drawback is that she’s having
a baby (her 2nd) in April, so she’ll be on maternity leave when
my 2nd is tiny. We’ll see how that goes. I’m still happier than
I’ve been in awhile following a pedi appointment.

We then grabbed a snack (love those blueberry
muffins) and went to my 23 week check up. We saw the midwife
who delivered Lex. She was much nicer today than I recall her
being in the delivery room. Her and a midwife in training
measured my belly and listened to the baby’s heartbeat. All
very good and right on schedule. She was impressed with my 12lb
weight gain. I’m trying hard to gain less than I did with Lex,
since I started out higher. I’ll have to go back and check my
old blog to compare. ‘Cause that’s important, ya know. Lex
happily read books and walked around when they examined me. The
silly boy even went up to both of them when they first got
their and shook their hands. :) He’s so funny.

Then I celebrated two good appointments with a
chocolate shake from McD’s. :)
