First visit to the pediatrician...

We took our first visit to the pediatrician's office yesterday and it was an adventure. Trying to carry a portable oxygen tank, a diaper bag, a monitor, and a car seat with baby is quite a task (and probably hysterical to watch!!). However, we put the monitor in the diaper bag which was a huge help!

Garrett was such a good boy during his visit. The timing fell right at feeding time, but Garrett made it through the visit without being too fussy! He now weighs 6 lbs. 14 oz and is 18 1/2 inches long. The doctor said that Garrett looked good and was eating/gaining weight nicely. Being 4 months old, Garrett also got his immunization shots. We all know that those are never fun, but Garrett took it like a man!

Heath and I were impressed by the doctor and the staff at the office. They were very nice and offered to put Garrett's next appointment first thing in the morning so that we didn't have to sit in the waiting room (too many germs!!!!). First doctors visit was good...many more to come!
