This morning Joseph had his first month checkup.  He did wonderfully!  He slept as I got ready to go, he slept on the way there, he sat happily listening to the music box and batting his arms and moving his legs as the doctor inspected him, he got a little fussy at the end but was stilled with a finger until I could go nurse him, and he slept all the way home!  The doctor was very happy, and even though I wasn’t nervous, I somehow feel better with the doctor’s affirmation.  It’s as though someone from the outside has said “You are a good mother. Stop worrying.”  Not that I worry all that much, I just wonder if I shouldn’t be doing more or doing something I don’t know about but have no excuse not knowing about or . . .

He weighed in at 5.450kg (at the top of the curve), has a big head and is right in the middle with length.  His eye has cleared up (he just had a little ‘sleep’ that can mean various things with babies) so that’s fine and everything else the doctor checked was “tip top.”

Now for an afternoon with Grossmutti!
