Austin was scheduled for his 2 month well check today, which turned out to be nice timing after Abby threw up at the dinner table last night. She's had a cough for about 2 weeks now, and I think she just gagged on some mucus. Regardless, I called this morning to see if they could fit her in too.
Turns out, she has a little bronchitis. She got a script for z-pack and I got a look from the doctor and a was told anything after 10 days is not "just a cough." I try to not be one of those mom's that runs in at every sniffle expecting an antibiotic and what do I get? A scolding and an antibiotic. Guess I know where the line between paranoid mom and good mom falls next time: 10 days.
As for Austin, he's doing just fine. He's apparently eating like a champ as he's gained a little over 3lbs in a month! When Abby was this age, this was the big 4 shot and a liquid appointment, but thankfully they've combined some things and Austin only got 2 shots and the liquid. He screamed his head off, I nursed him, and he's been asleep since. I expect to have a VERY sleepy boy for the rest of the day. Otherwise, he looks healthy! Here's the stats:
Weight: 14lbs 4oz (95%)
Height: 23.6in (75%)
Head: 40.8cm (75%)
Still short and fat! (but fat babies are a good thing :) )
Oh! I also asked about his eyes, hoping he would tell me there was a pretty good chance they'll stay blue, and the doctor said to wait until 9 months. They can still change. Sigh.
