Another Monday, Another Check-Up

Baby Pear had another check in with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon today, and he remains happy with everything. He made some adjustments to accommodate growth, and as always managed to say something unintentionally that encouraged me.

He always checks the skin in the folds of Baby's hip because they are so hard to clean and so easy for an infection or skin rash to start in, and to be honest, it is an area I really work hard on, but really feel like I am struggling in, plus Baby had a very full poopy diaper right as we got there and I was struggling to clean it out of all her folds and be quick about it so we did not hold up the doctor. Any way, he commented that Baby had the best skin care he had seen in a long time and that I should be giving lessons. So that did my mommy heart good.

Thank you so much for all the prayers and words of encouragement. They are helping so much.

In other health news, Mr. Pear remains the only cold free person in our house. It was a very long Friday and weekend around here, but the girls both seem to be on the mend, and Mommy understands she is not allowed to be sick when Mr. Pear is at work, so we are going with that!
