Day 101: Doctor Part Two

The morning was the same as any other... Zombie mom and BabyAwake.

Eventually it was time to go to the doctor.  I put the carseat back together after our poop incident during the last outing.  It seems like it was put together strangely before because she was sitting funny... I just reminded myself that I need to check out how to loosen the seatbelt straps -- they seem like they're getting too tight.  Anyway, I moved the car to the shade and reassembled the carseat, got the diaper bag, the lotion I'd been putting on her, and the two items we would be returning to BBBaby.

When we got there, Eisley was weighed at 9lbs and 1oz.  Holy moly!  She's a growing beast.  No wonder my back hurt so bad the other day carrying her around.  I don't know what I'm gonna do if my back doesn't get fixed soon -- I won't be able to carry her at all!

Anyway... Dr. E said it looked viral, which means we can't do anything but watch it.  She also said she wanted Dr. Canon to see it, in case it got worse and we needed to come back and she wasn't in.  He said it could also be extreme neonatal acne.  Regardless, there's nothing to do for that, either.  So we were left with the instructions to "watch it" and "continue putting the cream on" and to "come back if it gets worse."  Helpful... thanks.  I love not having definitive answers.

Anyway, we went to Jamba Juice next, since I was staaaaarving.  The smoothie didn't taste like it did last time I had it.  I don't know if my tastebuds changed since being preggo or if the guy just made it different. I suppose I'll have to have it again to check.

I was next dropped off at BBBaby to return our two items, which took a surprisingly long time.  Then we ran into Home Goods and I saw lots of things I wish I had and it made me sad I didn't have a job and couldn't spend monies.

I was also dropped off at Target to get some California Baby Calendula Cream for Eisley's face by recommendation from Nelena.  I like it.  It seems to be doing great for Eis.

Eis did pretty well last night.  Minimal fussing, but didn't sleep for longer than a three hour stretch.

She's getting sad now, since she's been in the crib while I've been typing, so I best go get her.
