Since being at home in SD during when Ace turned 2 months we had to post pone his 2 month appointment. When we got back home my mom and I took Ace to Dr Owens. I was very curious to see where Ace was on the charts according to other babies. He weighed in at 10lbs 5oz and is in the 8% for his weight. He was 23.5 inches long and is in the 75% for his height and 50% for his head. When i looked at Easton's stats at 2 months Easton was 9lbs 8oz and 23.5 inches long. Even though Ace was born an inch shorter he is on track with Easton's height. Dr Owens is still concerned about his weight so he mentioned feeding him as much formula as possible...which we have been doing lately. Ace also has fluid surrounding his scrotum so the pediatrician thinks he may have a hernia. We are suppose to watch it to make sure it doesn't swell and then go down and swell and go down...if it does..he will have to have surgery for a hernia. Dr. Owens says that half the time the swelling/water build up goes away and everything will be normal...will just have to watch it carefully over the course of the next couple of months.
Ace also had his first round of shots. We have decided to go the alternate route again like we did with Easton...so we will be going back once a month for routine shots until he's all caught up. He did not like shots one bit and was kind of fussy/running a fever most of the night.
I decided to take Easton with us to the Pediatrician just because he's scared to death of the Pediatricians office. He definitely did not want to walk down that hallway and kicked and screamed. When he realized the office visit wasn't for him he calmed down. At least he doesn't have to go back for him until he's 3 years old.
Overall Ace's visit went well. Just need to keep an eye on his weight. One reason why i weigh him weekly at Angela's office.
