Abby's First "Sick Visit" to the Doctor's Office.

Yesterday morning Josh and I took Abby to the doctor's office. This was our first sick visit. We saw Dr. Belza who is just awesome!! He reassured us that it is okay and preferred to bring babies in for their first few colds. This really made me feel better. I'm not an overly paranoid mom but I had a friend who's baby was rushed to the hospital for a low oxygen level due to RSV and I really didn't want to have to worry that it was RSV with Abby. Fortunately it's not! Her lungs and ears both look very clear so it's just all in her head. But Dr. Belza told us that RSV has been seen more than normal this year so better safe than sorry. They also weighed Abby and she's a whopping 17 pounds and 6.5 ounces! Dr. Belza said that you can look at her and tell that she's not a tiny baby but that he would tell us if he felt she was too big. He told us that as soon as she starts crawling it will all burn off. That for the first six months we have to force feed them so they have enough to burn from 6 - 12 months. I have a feeling it won't be too long before she's crawling but for now she just rolls to where she wants to be. Please keep Abby in your prayers that she's able to kick this cold! Here's a pic to leave you with.
