What Can You Do In 5 Hours? Only 2 Doctor Visits

Hello all. This is Rod again with a quick update. Today we had 2 doctor appointments. First was the eye doctor at 8:20 AM. Of course, we arrived early and the doctor was late. After they put her eye drops in, we had to wait another hour before actually seeing the doctor. Results were good. Showing that Victoria still has some immaturity in her left eye, but no signs of ROP.

Second appointment was at 1:30 PM with the pediatrician. This one didn't take near as long, but we also received good news. Victoria has gained over 8 ounces in the past 6 days. That puts her up to 5 lbs. 15 oz....and almost a chunky 6 POUNDS.

Tomorrow we will spend the day relaxing and watching TV. No more doctor's appointments for 2 weeks. Yeah!

A Parting Shot!
BTW...The State of Massachusetts is requiring Walmart to stock the "morning after pill" following a recent lawsuit. I bet Larry Bird is embarrassed he ever played ball in that state. ;)

Victoria looks lovely in blue. Who would have ever thought taking your baby to the doctor, well 2 doctors in one day, would be so exhausting...the answer is any Mom or Dad who has had to get a baby AND themselves ready to go at a set appointment time ;) She looks absolutely healthy and wonderful. Love and hugs to all of you, Mom

Oh what a lovely family! Glad things keep getting better and better for everyone. Kristin, unemployment has officially been extended to a year, so hopefully your able to take advantage of all your time......sell Avon or something! hehehe
As far as getting cabin fever.....I'm totally feeling you......and I don't have a solution. I just look at it like I'd rather be home, board with a healthy family then to be outdoors in the cold-sick! Just a few more weeks of winter....

So glad to hear no signs of ROP and she's closing in on 6 pounds!!! You guys have come so far. Can't hardly imagine that you should just be meeting her now. Great news about the previous post and the unemployment being extended -- woohoo on getting to spend the time home w/ your baby girl! Things do have a way of working themselves out... *hugs*
