17 Weeks Old--October 2, 2008

17 Weeks Old
PERFECT
So Handsome!
This week we went to the Doctor to have Cameron checked about his cold. I was also wondering if he was gassy because he would cry & kick his legs a lot. Well...I was none the too pleased when I left. The Dr. did not think it was gas. He basically informed me that although, 30 ozs, is the perfect amount to be feeding Cameron, I was feeding him too much at once. I fed Cameron 8 oz. in the morning then 2 7 ozs. throughout the day then another 8 before bed. Cameron on average is sleeping between 9-10 hours a night. The Dr. actually made me feel like I was doing permanent damage to Cameron by doing this. Once again I heard how I need to wake him at night to feed him.

So the Dr. did a thorough examination of Cameron thinking he would see an extended belly & such. I will use the words of the Dr. "PERFECT." Cameron was perfect from head to toe. After the statement, he AGAIN said get him up at night...my words, "I am NOT getting him at night so I suggest you think of something else you want me to do!" Why would I change anything when the Dr. said...HE IS PERFECT! I stopped him in his tracks...good. I was frustrated. I did not appreciate being made to feel like a horrible mother. Needless to say...I have not changed a thing! I also got my confirmation that Cameron is indeed teething. His bottom gums are swollen.

My munchkin is in fact PERFECT!!!! I knew it! These Pediatricians can take their charts & shove them you know where! That is all for my soap box today!!! The outfit in these pics...they are from Bill's mom's secretary...How adorable! Thanks Kathy!
