Four Months Old!

Celia turned four months old on December 28, 2012. 

Tomorrow is her check up with her pediatrician. Though Celia seems wonderful health-wise and developmentally, I still get nervous and anxious while anticipating the appointment every time. "Maybe they will see something that I don't see right now," I think. And I hate thinking this way. It is so weird because I am (and always have been) very positive about baby CC. The anxiety comes from a tiny little voice in the very back of my mind, but it is there nonetheless. 

I also get this nervousness and anxiety because seeing the pediatrician means Mommy needs to make some big decisions for Baby! I need to chose which immunizations she gets and does not get, how many she gets at one time, etc. Then, once I do finally make a decision that I feel good about for her, the pediatrician makes me feel as if I am doing the wrong thing (since many doctors have very different views of immunizations). -Yes, I could switch pediatricians, but I do not want to switch clinics, (as CC's surgeons, gastroenterologist, and other specialists work right in the same clinic incase we would have any concerns). Ugh!

Anyway...we are extremely excited to find out Celia's new weight and height. She seems so very big to us. We are also eager for feedback on what we can do to improve as caregivers: Are we feeding her enough? Are we doing everything we possibly can to help her continually develop and improve? When will she be able to start rice/baby food?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please continue to pray for Celia. We pray that her appointment tomorrow goes well and that the appointments to follow go well, too! We pray that she keeps thriving. We pray that she keeps eating, pooping, tolerating food, and developing normally. We also pray that she continues to be healthy (as it is a terrible season for RSV and other illnesses).

-We do not anticipate anything less, but we will continue to pray-

Thank you:)
