Busy doctor week

Well this week has been the week of doctors. Ashlyn went in for her 2 month checkup and 4 shots! Not fun. She did surprisingly well with the little temper that she has. I felt bad as the nurse did her shots but it is for the best, right...Anyways. She is 13.3 lbs and 23.5 inches tall. a little on the heavier side right now but they said with how long she is, she is fine. Still on the Colic formula for a couple more weeks and then we will try the switch back to the still expensive but not $60 a week formula! Phew...

Brady had to go to the Ear Specialist today. Not a fun doctors appointment according to me. I know all they are doing is looking in his ears but I felt bad at what may come from this. The doctor said that he has build up behind both ears, not due to ear infections which he has only had one of, but due to the colds that he has had over time. Great...I feel like a terrible mom now not having gotten this check out sooner! So we are on some medication for the next two weeks and then we will be headed back in for a hearing test and a recheck. This will all probably lead to tubes in both ears. 9-12 months of my baby having these. No swimming...I wish I would have taken care of this sooner so he wouldn't have to go through this...I really hope he has not had any hear loss because of this either...I will feel terrible!

Sounds like you had some rough visits. Don't beat yourself up over the ear problems. It is one of the most common problems in toddlers. It will be ok. The tubes will do his ears good. Good luck
