Doctor's Visits

In the past 3 weeks and 4 days I've been to 6 doctor appointments. 4 for Ryan, one for Lucas and one for me. It's crazy. Ryan had to go several times for weigh in's because he lost so much weight after birth. He weighed 7 pounds and 13 ounces and lost about one pound after birth. But at his last visit yesterday(monday) he weighed 7 pounds and 15 ounces. So his weight is much better now that he's got the hang of breastfeeding. But now he has an infection around the area were they did the circumcision. So I had to take him in yesterday for that and the doctor gave me a special cream to put on it. He goes back to the doctor again next Tuesday for his one month check up. And the doctor said she will check the infection at that visit to make sure he's all healed up. Last Tuesday I had to take Lucas to the doctor because I suspected he had an ear infection. Which he does. Actually he has a double ear infection. He's been teething again and I could tell something wasn't right because he wasn't eating or sleeping like he usually does and I noticed he'd been tugging on his ears. So he's taking amoxicillan. And last Monday I had to go to the doctor to have my incision checked from the c section. Everything is healing just fine. I go back on December 15th for my postpardum check up and I have to have an ultrasound done on my left ovary because when they did the c section they noticed that my left ovary was 4 times larger than my right one. The doctor thinks it's just due to all the hormones from the pregnancy but wants me to have an ultrasound done just incase.

So 6 visits down and many more to come!
