We saw a new pediatrician today. I liked the old one just fine but the drive was killer especially when the baby who has the appointments hates the car. So we switched to the closer office and to the doc that was originally recommended. (She was booked 2 months out, hence the other doc.)
Well, she's moving to a third location openeing next month. Which is as far in a different direction, as the first doc we were seeing. Soooo... bummer. Guess we will start over once again at his next visit.
All is well. Our little roley-poley is 19 pounds 8 ounces and 27 inches with a head circumference of 18 inches. (Skeptical on the length because that means he only grew and inch in length in 2 months. And his head also grew an inch...)
Those measurements give him 80th percentile in weight, 54 for height, and 95 for head. (Also why I think the length is off, because 80th in weight and 54 in height would make for a fat baby. And he's really not.)
She doesn't have any concerns, he checked out great. She agreed with the GI that blood and mucous in the diaper aren't super concerning because he's gaining weight. So I guess we will see if we ever have success with food or we have to start pushing harder. She did mention skin allergy testing but since he's so young it isn't super accurate and I can't see the point in putting him through it unnecessarily.
(I know I'm really behind on things. He tried baby oatmeal which he enjoyed but was a clear fail by day 3. And then I ordered a new probiotic to try and that was quite a bit of blood the next morning. So we're still waiting to get back to normal right now to try something else.)
We just remember all the horror that was told us a year ago and hey. We have a healthy, growing baby boy who is doing amazing. All the rest of this is manageable.
Bryan's worked hard on getting the classroom together and the kids got to do school in it today! You can see their excitement.
