*Justin is still teething, but he was in a better mood tonight! His daycare teachers said he had a great day and was not crabby at all - yeah!
*He had his one year doctors appointment today. He weighs 24 pounds 4 ounces and was 30 3/4" long.
*We found out that he no longer has a tube in his right ear - and has an ear infection in that ear. We have not even gotten the bill for his surgery yet!!! He had it in less then 2 months!!! I have a call into the surgeon's office that performed the surgery. I don't think that we should have to pay again if he needs to have it put back in. I am sure we probaby will, but I will argue until I am blue in the face to avoid it.
*We fired our pediatrician. Right there in the exam room - I told her what I thought. First of all, this was the 4th time we were at this doctor and the 3rd time in a row that we have had to wait over an hour to see the doctor. Today it was about 75 minutes. I was very annoyed. Then she comes in and apoligizes - okay; I'll let it go. However, we were just there LESS THAN A WEEK AGO and she did not even remember. Okay, I know she sees tons of patients in a week, but is it that hard to look at the chart for 30 seconds before you open the door? She said "oh, it sounds like he has a cold..." - yes you stupid doctor; that is why I brought him in less than a week ago. Whatever; we just wanted to get the appointment done and leave. She said that someone would be in shortly to do the immunizations. About 5 minutes later she came back in and said that they didn't seem to have Justin's immunization records. HELLO!!! I had them faxed over to them from our doctor in Chicago. I have a copy at home too if they did not have them. However, how am I supposed to know they didn't have them??? That was when I lost it. I was ready to start crying...my voice was wavering and it took all I had not to burst into tears. I was so mad and upset and everything else. Rob and I had just sat in a hot exam room with a crabby baby that we didn't want to let crawl around on the floor in his diaper for over an hour and didn't even get anything accomplished.
I told her that we have had enough and would be finding a new pediatrician. She apoligized and said that she would call our old doctor and we could come first thing in the morning. I told her no; we had both taken time off of work to come today - and then I told her that we were sick of waiting so long to see her every appointment, it was ridiculious that she could not look at his chart to see that we had just been there, etc. I told her that we would not be back and I did not want to see this appointment show up on our insurance as a claim. She then had the nerve to try giving us recommendations of other doctors - like we are going to take them from her???? Ugh!!!
*On a much happier note - JUSTIN SAID MAMA!!!!!!!!
*Here are a few pics from the last couple days....

Sorry about the pediatrician, but good for you for getting rid of her!
I found one that I love, she goes to our church, she's impossible to see, all the kids appointments are usually a month late (hence A hasn't seen a doc since he was 2 weeks old) but she knows their names!
Are there any small practices in the area that you could try? Or smaller cities that you'd be willing to drive to?
Oh my god that costume is adorable! :) Sorry about the dr. issues!
Ditto what Heather said.
And congrats on Justin saying "mommy." Yay!
I love the costume.. I am so sorry to hear about your pediatrician. Good luck finding a new one. Congrats on Justin saying MAMA!!!
Yay for saying "Mama!" Doesn't it melt your heart?
Sorry about the doc. Good health care is sooo hard to find! I struggle with it too.
