First Day Out
misty · Thu, Aug 27, 2015Today was our first outing with the baby for her first pediatrician appointment. We intended to wrap her up against Chase’s body and take the bus, but when that didn’t work out, we ended up loading her in the carseat and driving. It worked out, and we found out that Milo loves riding in the car.
The pediatrician didn’t have much to say, and Milo didn’t get any shots. She is a healthy girl, growing well, and she even pooped big for the doctor. Not that it was required, but Milo came through anyway. She was a calm and collected little bit throughout the entire appointment. She slept most of the time, even when being inspected. The doctor told Chase and I that we look great for new parents; most parents, she said, come in for the 2 week visit looking quite haggard. I hailed Milo as our little champion for sleeping so well at night. “You look like a happy family,” the doctor commented.
After that, we came home and relaxed, watched a bit of Twin Peaks this evening, and finished off the frozen lasagna we’d made when preparing for our girl to enter the world. It was a wonderful day. It feels good to be a family of 3.
