Rooney's First MD Visit


Rooney had his first MD visit today. Other than the receptionist calling him Rodney I'd say it went pretty well. He didn't cry when I had to strip him naked and only cried a little when he got his 2nd PKU test. For everyone that does not know this is a test that is sent to the state. They take 5 drops of blood from the foot & screen for different metabolic disorders. I think he was more upset that we had to hold his feet.

Seems Rooney is growing like a weed already. He now weighs 9lbs 7oz & is 23" long. The MD said he was perfect (I couldn't disagree) & said he really liked him. Rooney was very easy going at the MD's office & every one seemed to notice. That & his big feet. The general consensus was that he was going to be a tall drink of water.
The MD said everything looked good, nothing abnormal & his heart & lungs sound excellent.

I realized that this appointment was much easier on me than my own MD appointments. That was nice however the next appt. is the 2 month appointment. This is where the shots begin and I only hope that it goes as smooth.
