Days of Doctors

These past few days have been full of doctor's appointments.

3/26 - Caleb's 1st Dental Visit...
On Thursday, I took Caleb for his first dentist's visit. Kris happens to know a pediatric dentist, so we thought we'd check him out. I was not sure what to expect from his very first visit, and was a bit nervous. Dr. Kyle asked me a lot of questions, counted Caleb's teeth, and checked and cleaned them! While Caleb was not the biggest fan of laying there with his mouth wide open, he did a great job, and let the doctor do his job! Caleb really liked Dr. Kyle, and I am very thankful for how wonderful he was with Caleb. Caleb was commended for his good brushing skills, and he got a Big Bird sticker and a really cool giraffe to take home with him, as well as the traditional bag with floss, toothpaste, and a new toothbrush!

While Mom and Dad always do the first "round" of brushing, Caleb loves to do his share also!


3/27 - 20 Week Ultrasound...
Friday, I had my "middle-of-the-road" ultrasound...at just under 20 weeks. The ultrasound tech. checked everything from our little girl's bones, to her heart, to her kidneys! So far, everything looks great and she is developing at a healthy and normal pace. Here are some of the photos we got from that appointment. Again, sorry for any blurriness...these are photographs of the printouts!

With this one, it is hard to distinguish facial features, but you can see that she is sucking her left thumb...

3/27 - Unexpected Visit to the Pediatrician...
On Friday morning, Caleb woke up with what looked to me like pink eye. I called the doctor as soon as they opened to describe his symptoms and they wanted to see him as soon as possible. The doctor confirmed that he had a bad case of pink eye, and upon checking his ears, discovered that he had a double ear infection also. My poor little boy...at one point on Friday, he couldn't even open his eye because it was so swollen. Thankfully, the eye drops have seemed to work wonders. Caleb has not seem too affected by all of this. While he has been a bit more whiny than normal, overall, he has been his happy self. He is such a trooper.

I have actually been battling a sinus infection, myself, so...needless to say, we spent the weekend at home, relaxing and trying to get healthy! Here's a photo of what much of our weekend looked like...

3/31 - Mom's Turn to See the Doctor...
I have been "battling" something since last week, and it hasn't seemed to get better. After waking up this morning with no voice, I went to the doctor, mostly hoping to rule out anything contagious. Thankfully, I don't have anything that requires antibiotics or anything like that...."just" an upper respiratory viral infection and sinus infection. Lovely.

3/31 (later in the day) - Regular Trip to the O.B.
Because my visit on Friday was with the ultrasound tech., not my regular doctor, she wanted to see me today. She quickly went over the results of my ultrasound from last week, and assured us that everything, so far, is looking great! She also did a quick ultrasound so we got another quick peek at our little girl. We are so thankful that she is developing at a healthy rate, and are so excited to meet her. We are HALFWAY there!!
