Small Town Doctor's Visit

So, maybe it's because most of our friends grew up here in Arlington and we all live in the same area - but Arlington is a really small town...you know, for having 350,000 people. We found our pediatrician through several of our friends who just raved about him. So, after we met him, we told our friends Matt and Donen (Matt sits next to Ryan at work) about him so they could check him out too. Matt and Donen's boy, Ethan, was born 10 days after Owen.

So, we went for Owen's 2 week check-up on Tuesday. Tara had already seen Jill go in and take Henry back for his shots. When Jill was checking out we could see her behind the glass talking to someone. We could see her say bye and when the door opened...it was Matt and Donen with Ethan. There were only 5 patients in the office and the group of us made up 3 of those. It was weird.

Owen had a good check-up. He's putting on the poundage, getting back up close to his birth weight. Grew a little more - up to 21" (I'm telling you the original measurement was wrong). His jaundice cleared up, so no more trips to the lab. He spits up a lot, which might be due to some reflux. So, at 2 weeks old, he's on the antacid. Tara says it's revenge for all the heartburn he gave her during pregnancy.

And if anyone is wondering about Tara - she's feeling good and has already lost 13 of her 27 pregancy pounds. Doin' good!
