4 Month Check-up

Joe had his 4 month check up last week (Ive picked up some extra shifts at the hospital, so its taken me a while to post...sorry!) He weighed in at 15 pounds and 25 3/4 inches long. The doctor thinks he may have some allergies because he coughs some and has some eczema...so we are taking some allergy medicine and antibiotic for the next 14 days. Let me tell you, its not fun to give medicine to a nursing baby! Let's just say we are lucky to get 1/2 the medicine, the other 1/2 ends up on the burp cloth. I hope they give larger doses thinking that most babies won't take the whole dose. Oh well, he has been coughing less. Other than that, the doctor (aka Mary Poppins...who by the way has to carry a lap top now and her basket!) says he looks fantastic and she'll see us in another 2 months!

I have to give props (do people still say that or am I getting old?) to my husband. He and Joe spent the whole weekend together while I was working. Saturday was a little rough as Joe decided to cry ALL day long. Even though Joe wasn't cooperating, Jeff had vacuumed, emptied all the trash cans, tidied up and had supper cooking when I got home...how amazing! He's trying to show me how its done...house work and keeping a kid. Luckily, Sunday was a breeze as Joe was a good boy all day. I'm glad last week is over. Its always tough getting back into the swing of things after being on vacation.

Also, I have the best boss! She gave me a "snow" day today...yes, its a little chilly and raining today, but she told me to stay home and she would see me tomorrow. I love her!!!!
