Two Week Well-Baby Appointment

Today we had Avelyn's 2-week appointment: All is well with her. She's now 21 1/4" long and weighing in at 8lbs 15.7oz. They actually give you a little card at each appointment telling you where she falls on the charts...she's longer and weighs more than 90-95% of babies her age.

We actually saw the doctor who will be Avelyn's doctor today, Dr. Kabe.er: We were both really impressed with her. She's actually my sister's pediatrician.

During the summer my sister got cellulitis from a mosquito bite and ended up in the emergency room. The only doctor who was available to see her for her follow up was this doctor. The thing my mom and sister really liked about her was that she's of the school of "Drugs are our last resort". I hate doctors that push PUSH PUSH drugs: If they're needed, OK, but let's not just take them for the sake of doing "something".

She was also pleased to see that we are using cloth diapers and are using only all natural products (lotion/soap). Her response to the cloth diapers was funny: "Take that Walm.art!"

We only started using our cloth diapers last night...I must say...they've come a long way since I last changed them. We have two different kinds: Green Mountain Diapers and Thirsties covers and Bum Genius 3.0 one size. So far we've only used the green mountain diapers, but I have no complaints about them.

It takes us less time to change a cloth diaper than it does to change a disposable. With the amount of laundry we do anyways, there is really no difference on that end either. Not to mention these are a lot cuter than disposable diapers.

And some pictures :-)
