Doctor Visit /Check up

On Tuesday (the 15th) Timmy had his 4 month checkup. He weighed in at 13lbs 9oz and measured 25 1/4 inches long. He is at the higher end of the scale on height and the lower end on weight. Overall he is a healthy and very active baby.

That is the good news. The bad news is that Benny has been having a fever since Monday (the 14th). The highest it registered was 103.9 (that was on Monday afternoon). He has had no other symptoms like runny nose or coughing. Dr. Hernandez checked him out and said that if he still had a fever on Friday that we should bring him back and they would do blood work. Thankfully, Benny has been responding to the Children's Motrin and as of this morning (the 17th) he does not have a fever. Here's hoping that Timmy doesn't get it.

2 month checkup

Timmy had his 2 month checkup today. His pediatrician was on vacation earlier this month so Timmy missed his 1 month checkup. Currently he is 10lbs 4oz and is 23 inches long. His head measured at 14 1/2 inches. He is growing like a weed! He had 3 booster shots today but handled it like a trooper. The only thing the doctor said was we need to do more tummy time. Timmy needs to practice holding up his head. Our next doctor appointment for Timmy is at four months (which puts it sometime in June).

On another note, Benny had his first real experience with throwing up. Monday morning he woke up not felling well. He tried to eat breakfast, but soon threw it up. He threw up a total of 3 times (not counting his bed). By late afternoon he was feeling better. He wanted to play trains.

Another Update!

Sorry I have not updated this in awhile, but a lot has been going on. We were fortunate to travel to Pennsylvania for our friends Scott and Laura's wedding. However, Benny and I were not able to attend because Benny came down with a really bad sore throat. Brad did however make it to the reception and was able to have a good time with his friends. Benny was able to visit with his grandparents (Moomie and PopPop) in Delaware. Unfortunately that was when he was getting sick. By the end of our time there, he was feeling much like his old self, so we took him to the Philadelphia Zoo. I think we all enjoyed it. I hadn't been there in over 10 years. Our flight back was a disaster (i.e. Benny threw up on me), but we made it home safely. We are looking forward to having family and friends come and visit us next month.
