Dual Dr.'s appointments = Disaster

We had dual doctor appointments Friday.

2.5 year appointment for Miss M.
4 month appointment for Mr. Man.

It had the potential to be a great idea. It had the potential to be a terrible idea.

It was terrible. It was probably the most miserable thing I have experienced in a LONG time.

Miss M watches Doc McStuffins ALL THE TIME. You'd think she would be prepared for the doctor. Nope. She was a terror. She thrashed around and screamed and made a fool of herself. She made herself so upset she was coughing to the point where she almost threw up.  I honestly think that it would have been easier to wrestle an alligator.  Or maybe just more enjoyable.

She wouldn't let them measure her, weigh her, look in her ears, or anything else without throwing the biggest tantrum I have ever experienced with her.  The tantrums started a week or so ago. They are a joy.

And as Miss M lost her marbles for the nurse and doctor it set the little guy in motion.

He just had to cry in his car seat because I had to physically hold her down/lay on her.

She didn't get any shots today thankfully. She did however get the nasal version of the flu shot. It went okay. It was much less dramatic than having her height measured.

Miss M's stats:
Height: 36 inches - 75%.
Weight: 28 lbs - 50%


Mr. Man didn't really enjoy his check up either.

Mr. Man's stats:
Height: 27 inches - 98%
Weight: 17 lbs 4 oz -75-90%
Head circumference: 90%

I talked to the doctor a lot about the issues we are having regarding food and sleep. I need to start feeding him on a 4 hour schedule instead of a 3 hour (or haphazard schedule). She said that once his feeding schedule was regulated that his sleep should sort itself out. I hope she's right.

We also are going to switch formula and add some prune juice to his diet and see if it helps him.
