The 2 month check up…

Phew. Glad that is over. I don’t know who cried more. Kayle getting the shots, or me, watching Kayle CRY the hardest I have ever seen him cry while I held his arms and talked to him to try to reassure him. The nurse was really great and was pretty fast…though it seemed like an eternity.

The Stats: Height  22 1/2 inches; Weight 11 lbs 9 oz (whoa!) He is about 7 ounces shy of doubling his birthweight! (Thank you, Thank you! taking a bow. I feel proud!)

I am still feeling the effects of the appointment though. Mostly because the doctor also felt the need for a Physical Therapy appointment to check out possible Torticollis (go ahead, google it). I thought he was leaning his head to the Left a bit more than his right…but I would try to put him in positions to turn his head both ways. Over the past week or two, I really was concerned about Torticollis. But then when she mentioned it first, I thought “Great, why didn’t I remember to tell her first that I was concerned.”

I looked it up on the internet. Torticollis. I knew what it was from having seen a PT work with a little baby back in my outpatient pediatric days in OT. But I didn’t know ALL about it. I had to stop reading because I was getting worked up. More on this after the PT visit. But right now I am just feeling a bit emotional. This parenting thing is hard. Wow. I mean, I am already feeling emotional and like a bad parent. Am I the only one???
