No really... my pediatrician is the BEST! The doctor's office that we use as a family calls and let's you know that you have an appointment two days before the appointment. During the call you can confirm or cancel the appointment. Due to this great feature I tend to not really pay attention to when my appointments are. Yeah, well, that was an issue today. Hubby canceled the home phone since Vonage hadn't been letting us make outgoing calls for 2 months. I changed the phone number associated with me the last time I was in and just assumed (yes, Dad I know what assuming does!) that the phone number change would be associated with the whole family. I thought wrong. So today I called because I had this feeling that Will's check up was this week and I never got the phone call. The receptionist told me that yes, Will's appointment was this week. In fact, it was 30 minutes before I called. Oh criminy! I asked if I could still come in and get worked in. She didn't seem very hopeful but she asked the doctor anyway. The doctor said to come on in. He had them act like my appointment was for 50 minutes later than it was! Keep in mind that this is a really popular doctor not just one of those guys who barely can keep his doors open. I was so amazed. He is just great.
We loaded up just as fast as we could and raced in. They worked us in and Will was given another diagnosis of perfection! He is 18 1/2 lbs. and 26 1/2" so he is really evening out. He used to be 80% weight and almost 40% height. Now he is 61% weight and 46% height. I am really pleased. Will impressed the doctor with his fine and gross motor skills again and of course, with how wonderfully sweet he is. All in all it was a great visit made even better by having a doctor who allows a busy mom to make a mistake or two!
