87, 840 minutes...how do you measure 2 months?

In diapers and wipes and loads of laundry...in pediatric visits, cardio visits and parking garage payments....(sorry creators of 'Rent', I just had to do it)

Miss McButter had 2 visits to the Dr. this week. She went to the cardiologist and all seems well enough and she wore another holter monitor (see photos) and got a new prescription for her Propanolol (higher dosage due to weight gain/growth). I really liked the cardiologist and he explained SVT and said that 80% of infants grow out of it so the numbers are on our side. If you want, you can Google 'SVT' and learn more about McButter's heart but read about the heart issue, not the car.

Miss McButter also went to her 2 month check up! Two months already! She weighs 10 lbs, 13 oz (50th percentile), her length is 23 inches (75th percentile) and her noggin is 15 1/2 inches (70th percentile). Miss McButter is definitely smiling and cooing now. Miss F is certain she has already said 'Flinn' and 'Airplane' but I think it's more like "hooo--hoooo--ahhhhhh" but maybe I'm wrong. We're on about a 3 hour feed schedule during the day with naps every 1.5 hour or so for about an hour. She goes to bed around 8:30 and she wakes up for her medicine/food at 2 and again around 5ish to eat so not quite through the night, yet. I begged the cardiologist to change her medicine to twice a day but we have to remain on 4 times a day until she's a little older. Therefore, there will be no sleeping through the night when the alarm wakes me at 2 a.m. to give her the dosage.

As you can see, I tried to get a 2 month photo of her and she's just a little too active. If you go waaaaaay back in the archives. Waaaay back. Back to the very first month I blogged, you can see that Miss F had a similar 2 month photo but I'm trying to not include photos of Miss F in Miss McButter's blogs. You know, poor 2nd child and comparing siblings and all that.....but if you want to look, go back to the December '05 blog and check it out.
