Paige Meets Dr. Byrne!!

bPaige had her 2 week well check yesterday. She weighed 9lbs 13oz and although it took the Dr. a few minutes to figure out where to put her on the growth chart (she's apparently just about off the top end) her weight gain is at a nice, healthy looking rate. Dr. Byrne did think she was feeling a small click in Paige's hips and wants to see her back in 2 weeks to keep an eye on it between now and her 2 month check. The PKU test was NOT fun (when is getting poked in the heel ever fun) but it was so much better than it was with Kyra since Joy, the new medical assistant since we started going there with Kyra, is just wonderful! It still took a lot of poking and squeezing to get all the little circles completely filled in with blood but since her bedside manner is so sweet it definitely could have been a lot worse (like it was with Bean...)
Now for the NON-medical side of the visist... So far, there hasn't really been anything noticable about having two so close together that has stuck out as being harder than just the normal things of adding a second child. At Paige's appointment though I realized just exactly why it can be such a challenge at times being a "Baby Buncher". (Baby Bunching is raising kids less than 2 years apart.) Well this was my first time out with both girls. Kyra started out really well when we got there and I was feeling pretty good about being out with the two of them! Then things started to go downhill. My little girl who lsitens so extremely well in public for a 14 month old decided she wanted to do everything exactly the opposite of what I said for the last half hour of the visit. She kept getting right under the doctor and medical assistants' feet, pulled the magazines off the table in the exam room several times and while Paige was having her PKU test done where I needed to be holding her, Kyra got into one of the cabinets and pulled out the extra pillow and ran around the room with it. This will definitely be the LAST time that we do a doctor's appointment where they both go along unless Phil can come!!!
