2 month check-up

Dear Maggie,

Today you had your 2 month check-up with Dr Fox. You weighed 10 lbs 6 oz and are about 21.5 inches long. That means you are about 50% for weight and 25% for height. Ever since you were born you have not been able to breath through your nose. I read that all newborns have congestion so we have been patiently waiting for it to go away. But it should have gone away by 4-6 weeks and you are 8 weeks. And it is so sad because you can't breath very well and you are so noisy and never seem comfortable. So I asked Dr Fox about it and it turns out you have an infection in your nose. The good news is that we can give you medicine and hopefully in a few days you will be able to breath through your nose! And maybe if you can breath better you can sleep better. Fingers crossed! Dr Fox had to take a culture swap of your nose, which you hated! And then you got three needles for immunizations. It broke my heart to take you to the doctor knowing you would have to get shots. I never want to see you sad. It is so hard to know that you will have to experience hard things. Dear baby girl, you are really working your way deep in to my heart. I love you so much!

Love,
Mom
