Doctors and Diets

For the first time in three years there were no tears at the doctor's office!! Meggie had her two week appointment and Kendra had her three year check-up on Tuesday. There were no tears, no gagging, no vomiting, screaming, etc. This was a historic day!! Kendra has always hated the doctor. And I do mean always - ever since she was two weeks old. She would be fine until we went into the exam room and the screams would begin. Her pediatrician couldn't believe how well behaved Kendra was! Mark was surprised that with all of her patients she remembered Kendra. Trust me, with a kid acting like a hysterical caged monkey, you would remember. As soon as her doctor was finished examining her, Kendra asked, "can I have a sucker now?" Meggie hasn't had any shots yet - maybe that's why she likes to see the doctor.

I'm still on a diet! I was so happy after I gave birth because that meant I could have more fats in my diet. Well, Meggie might have reflux. She spits up a ton. So I can no longer eat dairy products or ethnic food - including pizza. Her pediatrician put it this way, "eat steak and potatoes." So I'm going back to my up bringing and eating what I did as a kid - except this time I will not have butchered it.
