Clare's 1 Month Wellness

We had Clare's 1 month wellness visit on January 29 - her 1 month birthday to the date! She had a great check up.

It gets cold waiting for the doc!

She has plugged eye ducts on both eyes, but nothing terrible. I remember William had one plugged eye duct that sometimes would cause his eye to be closed shut. Both of Clare's eyes get goopy, but don't close shut. So we rub with a washcloth inside her eye along her nose at bath time to help open up those tear ducts. Nothing to do unless she continued to have them beyond her first birthday. 

And the poor thing has survived the month of illness at our home. Matt had the worst cold for weeks - starting a few days before her birth day. We had the stomach bug as well. I was worried she would catch it, but the doctor said to keep nursing and even if she did catch it then it wouldn't be nearly as bad as we had it. Sure enough, she didn't catch a thing! It was pretty much torture having the stomach bug and taking care of a newborn though. She couldn't have been better and thankfully fell into deep sleeps after each feeding, which let me rest. Matt had to stay home (he had it as well) and take rests with the other two. Quite the adventure. 

The rest of her visit was great. No other questions I can recall. Here are the stats!

Weight: 8 lbs 14 oz / 40%

Height: 21.75" / 79%

Next visit is 2 months!
