Today Jason took the day off of work and we took the girls to the pediatrician. Their normal pediatrician is on maternity leave until January and I was nervous about how the fill in doctor would react to our homebirthing, non vaxing ways. Turns out she didn't bat an eye. In fact, she was wonderful....I like her better than the normal doctor and I will be sorry to see her go. She could not get over how alert and strong Summer is, how healthy she is and gave lots of kudos to me for having a homebirth. Brooke is also in perfect health and is growing great. Brooke now weighs 27lns and Summer weighs 10 lbs 4 oz. Another thing about this doctor that I liked was that she spent a lot of time talking with us, explaining everything that she was doing and why she was doing it. She also took the time to let Brooke get used to her before examining her, which helped calm Brooke, who really hates the doctor's office.
After our appointment we went out to lunch and then ran the errands needed to get Summer's birth on file for her birth certificate. Then we came home and just chilled for the rest of the night.
Tomorrow morning there is a LLL playgroup happening and I really really want to go to it. But taking both kids out by myself still overwhelms me, so I am not sure if I am going to go. I hope I am able to.
Well that's the update for now. Ciao!
