SOOOO BIG!

H got his one year checkup yesterday. The doctor's visit is always such a duality of feelings....you love it and hate it. I Love love love seeing how big he's gotten, getting the percentiles (90th percentile!! Big Boy!!!), but I HATE having to ask the questions. My doc, Dr. Scott, is wonderful. He never makes me feel like I'm asking the wrong question or doing the wrong thing....but I always feel a little uneasy, like I'm a "bad" mom, for asking questions. I feel like it's my kid....I should know the answer. Then I feel like what if i didn't ask the right questions. Am I a paranoid nutcase or what??


Anyway, Sonny took off and accompanied me to the doctor, which I am SO thankful for cuz as soon as I laid H on that paper to get his clothes off....he was wailing! I think he's getting much more aware of what goes on when he's in that office. Then...he was just not having it with the scale...so the nurse had to put him in a bucket scale. Basically it's a bucket that you sit them in so they can't go anywhere. I cursed that I didn't have my camera. 25 lbs!! He's a big boy! His 2 year old cousin weighs the same! HA!


After Dr. Scott examined him....it's like he knew what was coming. Those painful little pricks in those wonderfully chubby little legs. But I have to say...I was so proud of my little guy. He didn't scream....just cried...like "Why must you people torture me!? What have I done to deserve this??" Heartbreaking....but his daddy whisked him right up and we were DONE!


The Dr's office can be so traumatizing, for H and for me. I told Sonny that he really should take off every Dr's visit. I think that I need a shoulder to lean on sometimes more than the little guy....

  1. Yeah, WEB has his 4 month check up soon. I'm going to brave the visit alone, we'll see how that goes. He's only supposed to get 2 shots, vs the 4 that he got at his 6 week check up, so hopefully it won't be that bad. I was almost in tears last time though. WEB was screaming so much he turned a lovely shade of reddish/purple. :(
