Today Sophia had her 5 month appointment. She developing nicely and all is well. She is now 14lbs 5 oz and I forget how many inches long. I think shes 25 inches??? I have to look at the chart, but I’m too lazy.

I have most of her stuff packed and ready to go, but the rest of the house looks like a tornado went through it. It’s driving me crazy, but I just have to keep reminding myself that it will all be cleaned up soon. Can you tell I’m a clean freak? Never used to be, but these darn cats and all their cat hair. It’s really gross. Well I gotta get back to patching holes in the walls and packing some more.

That’s her new carseat. She likes it much more then her infant one.

As some of you may know from my previous posts, Sophie was sick for a little while..(ear infection). Well, I took her back to the doctor a week later because she didn’t seem like she was getting any better. She was still very cranky, and I know that teething didn’t help, but it seemed like something else was bothering her. Our family doctor checked her out and said that everything was ok and that it was completely normal for a first time mom to worry, but that I do not need to go overboard and bring her in because she is ok. She now has lost her voice and sounds really sad and pathetic. She sounds like I did when I had laryngitis, but apparently she is FINE. How can a little baby be ok if she barely has a voice???

I haven’t taken her back to the doctor yet, seeing as how it’s the weekend and their office is closed. I am however going to take her back and get her checked out by someone else. I know that I am not being an overprotective mom, I have a very obvious reason to my worrying. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not bashing our family physician, she is a great doctor, but her specialty is not in children/babies.

Brad and I wanted to get a pediatrician for Sophie, but seeing as how were were moving shortly after her birth, we just decided to stick with our family doctor. I just think that it’s much easier to go to a doctor that knows how to deal with babies and first time moms.

Am I just being crazy and worrying too much? I think that I have a valid reason to get a second opinion. Anyway, now that I’ve had my rant of the day I am going to go and have some breakfast. Have a good day everyone

What is with the camera? It’s always in my face…
