New Dr. Monday

Hello - it's Jeff the Dad writing to you this evening. We had an appointment with our new Pediatrician today. Our original Peds Dr. (Dr. R) finished her residency and moved back to the east coast, where she is initially from. We miss her greatly, as she has known Grace since Grace was 3 days old. However, our new dr. (Dr. J) comes recommended by Dr. R - so we feel we are in good hands.

So today was Gracie's first appointment with Dr J (aside from meeting her once in the E-R) - and they seemed to hit it off right away. She crawled right up on Dr. J's lap and they had a grand old time, with Grace grabbing her stethoscope, picking at her name tag, and banging on the computer's keyboard. There weren't many reports or anything for this meeting - the BIG reports usually come from our Neurologist. This was more of just a "How's it going" appointment and then a quick once over. All seems to be in order, and all of the parts are where they are supposed to be. So that was good. Grace weighed in at 35.2 lbs and is about 38 inches tall (still well above the 97 percentile, in case you were wondering).

Aside from the appointment, today was fairly uneventful for my lovely girl - with the exception of ONE thing. Lisa got a phone call today from daycare, saying that one of the other kids had bitten Gracie. I checked out the situation when I went to pick her up, and Grace has a bite mark on her forearm, and another on the back of her hand (both were still there at 8:00 tonite). Nothing too serious, but I'll bet it hurt like a bear!

Not alot else to say, really. Grace was quite tired. She was a little cranky after her bath, and was quite tired. She went to sleep pretty close to her normal time and is now sleeping soundly. So is mommy.

Thanks for all of your support over the last number of months (if not longer). We truly appreciate it.

Off to bed. Talk to you again tomorrow.

Have a super week.

Jeff, Lisa, and Gracie
