Addison is now 2 months and 1 day old. She had he doctor appointment today and she weighs 7 pounds 9 ounces and is 19 inches long. She is in the 1 percentile for her weight and head and not in a percentile for her length I guess but the doctor said to take that with a grain of salt. He said Addison is doing so well and he can't believe that she is already two months and already doing so well. He seemed really surprised that she hasn't been colicky yet because most preemies have that problem. I know that I am going to pay later for saying this but she is an easy baby so far, just feed and change her and she usually doesn't make a peep. She is starting to talk more and move her hands a lot. She is just starting to roll to her side, so we have to be careful where we lay her because a couple times she has moved quite close to the edge of our bed or couch.
I also talked to the doctor about the possibility of taking her to our families house for Thanksgiving and he said that there are risks involved but we can't be locked up forever or else we'll go crazy ( i think that I already have) so he said just make sure there aren't more people than you can count on one hand and keep little kids away from her. Steve and I will have to think about this because we are still very paranoid about her getting sick, but I'm excited that the doctor didn't just come out and say NO because that is what I was expecting.

so scary to have such a small one around this time of year!! RSV is the bane of every new parent's existence, but for preemies... ugh. i hope you guys feel good about whatever decision you make with the holidays. it's a tough one. i made my ENTIRE family get flu shots before we went to vegas for christmas last year, and avery was 7 months old! seriously, all of them. haha. it sounds like she is doing great, though!!! she is so cute!!
Sounds like she is doing great! I know it is hard having a small baby but she will catch up sometime :) I understand 100% about nt wanting them to get sick. RSV stinks and I don't want to bring them back to the hospital! I just bring hand sanitizer with me everywhere. I hope things are going well for you three!
