5 hour eye appointment!



I think the memo about creeping AFTER you learned how to hold your head up came out at 29 weeks, and that is why Ailyn missed it! We do belly time 2x a day and every time she will get so mad that her whole body creeps up. She will also roll over (by mistake), so as you can see belly time isn't going so great! We do a lot of "belly" time on our chests and she does so well.

Today we had a follow up at a new doctor, her NICU eye doctor referred us to a pediatric ophthalmologist. It wasn't supposed to take 5 hours but they had an emergency and Ailyn's eyes didn't fully dilate. The doctor is GREAT! He was so great with Ailyn and even Camden who was extremely bored. He had Ailyn on his lap while I held her binki in her mouth. She was so calm and let him poke all around her eye (yet, when I got home and filed her nails, she screamed like I was pulling her toenails out) Ailyn's eyes look great, nothing to worry about. Doctor will see her back in 3 months, along with Camden....who was not thrilled about that! Anyone looking for a pediatric
ophthalmologist in the Baltimore area, this doctor was great!
