Mother of the year…

Mattias had his first doctor’s appointment with a new doctor today (and it turns out it will be the last with this particular doctor.. but more about that later).  He now weighs a whopping 3880 grams or 8 lbs 9oz and he’s 56cm or 22 inches long.  That puts him in the 50th percentile for his weight and the 85th percentile for his length.  If this is a bit confusing.. he’s long and skinny… oh, and PERFECT.  The doctor said everything (about Mattias) looks great.

Me on the other hand – It turns out that I’ve been holding, feeding, diapering and burping him wrong for the past 3 weeks.  I’m pretty new at this, but there really isn’t much else to parenting a 3 week old so I left feeling pretty depressed.  Not to worry though, I booked his next appointment with another doctor.  Everyone is a critic!  I had a bad vibe going in to the clinic and Mattias started screaming at the sight of the doctor (and he never screams) so it turns out he’s inherited his mom’s ability to judge character.  What a little prince!

    Okay – I’ll give you my first (and hopefully only) bit of unsolicited advise…GET A NEW DOCTOR!!!! This one is NOT good – I’ve seen you with Mattias and if I thought either of you was even a remotely marginally bad parent (were not talking Brittney here!) we would have taken Mattias with us (birth certificate or not!)

    You are a terrific mom and Fredrik is a wonderful dad and anyone who says otherwise is just plain nuts!

    love, mom

    Phew.. thanks!
    By the way, we’ve already booked another doctor, and if that doesn’t work I’m prepared to drive 40 minutes so that the doctor who delivered him can continue to see him as long as we’re in Vancouver. Sarah

    Jag har endast sett Dig, Fredrik och Mattias genom web-kameran men ni verkar vara en helt perfekt mamma och pappa med så mycket omsorg och kärlek från er båda.
    Kram

    I agree with grand ma Terri , and im happy to hear that you already got a new doctor…. as a mother of 3 (not all that terrible kids) i have to say there is no wrong way as long as the baby is happy and well taken care of .
    To see that he is all that is at all hard and im sure you’re the best parents Mattias could wish for //Sussie
