Christening the Ped's office...

This week is going very fast! Since Daddy is back at work, Mommy has had visitors to play with me so Mommy can take naps. Grandma Katy and Aunt JohAnna were over on Monday! Dionne came to visit me on Tuesday morning...she cleaned my belly button for Mommy. Hopefully my cord stump will fall off soon so I can have a real bath!

Mommy got announcements made about me and hopefully will be getting them to people soon. It's hard for Mommy to do a lot because she is tired and tries to sleep when I take naps. Unfortunately, I tend to take good naps during the day and like to stay awake at night. I guess I take after Daddy, he is a night owl.

Today Mommy took me to the Pediatrician's office for my two week visit. The weather seems to be really yucky when we go there. I guess there is some ritual that I can't have on my clothes when I'm there. So Mommy was taking off my diaper because I want #1 and #2. While she was cleaning me with the COLD wipey things...I couldn't help it and went #1! Mommy was trying to direct the spray, but it went all over me. At least it was warm! Unlike the wipey things. So Mommy tried to have the wipe absorb the liquid and I would just pause it. Then when she took it away I'd start back up again. This happened about 3-4 times before Mommy gave up and just let it go...all over my socks. There was a big wet spot on the table. The nurse lady said that patients like me do this all the time. Since it was my first time, I thought I'd share it with you.

Mommy was pretty embarrassed, but finally got me cleaned up so that I could get weighed and measured.

Here are my 18 day measurements:
Height: 20.5 in - 50th percentile
Weight: 9 lb 6 oz - 50th percentile
Head Circumference: 15 in - 40th percentile

Mommy was pretty close with her weight estimate of 10 lbs. Not quite there yet, but I guess my clothes and diaper weigh more than I thought. Dr. Kaye said that I am doing really good and that I don't have to come back until I'm 2 months old!

I also got a Hepatitis shot today. I cried a little, and so did Mommy. Although, Mommy is nervous because I have to get more shots next time. Maybe Daddy be with me for those.

When Mommy & I came home from Dr. Kay's office we had to stop in the icy driveway because the garbage can was blocking the entrance! Mommy went to get out of the car to move it and the car started sliding down the driveway!! So, Mommy quickly got back in the car and the car stopped eventually. After Mommy moved the can, she tried to pull into the garage...that didn't work. The wheels on the car just kept spinning. So Mommy had to back out of the driveway and make a running start! We got in on the 3rd try.

Mom's Note:
Myles is doing really well! He is sleeping now, so I'm going to go take a nap. We seem to be up from 11-2/3 am each night. Maybe it's because it's been cloudy, he can't tell that it's daytime! Thanks for all of the well wishes, and hopefully we'll see you all soon!
