Doctor Doctor

The visit to the doctor went well.

The baby was overtired (she had only had her morning nap and efforts to get her to nap in her bed and in the car had failed) but cheery as usual. Her ears were a little red, but nothing to be worried about. Her chest and back were clear. Her throat was all good (I didn't think she would let the doctor have a look, but she did!). Her temperature was fine - she thinks that she may have had a fever that broke around the time I was giving her a bath.

She does, however, have a sacral dimple. I wasn't sure what it was, but knew when some babies are born, it kind of looks like there is an extra hole near the top of their butt. I raised it with the nurse the last time I was in there, and she didn't think it was serious but suggested we get the doctor to check it out next time we were in. It can be a symptom of a spina bifida, but I refused to even google it because they had said it seemed unlikely. The doctor is happy that it's fine and nothing to worry about (*phew!*).

The doctor said she had beautiful little teeth and that she was moving really well, especially considering her time in the harness.

Beside the fact that she didn't have an afternoon nap AT ALL after that, she was definitely looking and sounding a bit chirpier than she had been in a few days.
