Caleb & Della: 9/17/14: Day 199: Pediatrician

Charlotte is starting to develop a pattern. She was up the most the entire night again. I managed to sleep from 7:00 AM until 9:00. Then Lucky and I left to meet the pediatrician. Sonsonate is a 45 minute drive and our appointment was at 10:00. Della has been dreading this because she not up for the ride on the bumpy road and so she has to be separated from Charlotte. I was hoping to be home close to 11:00 but the pediatrician did not show up until 11:10. She said she had been tied up with another commitment. The report is that Charlotte has not lost or gained any weight. Charlotte’s umbilical area is looking good. The pediatrician didn’t even feel the need to make a follow up appointment. She just said to call and return if Charlotte has any problems. We got back home at 12:00 and thankfully the car had kept Charlotte asleep most of the journey. Then Lucky and I walked out to get lunch and medicines for Della in Ataco. We returned at 1:00 and I stayed home with Della for the rest of the day. I rested and studied a bit more. At 7:00, Charlotte had a dirty diaper so I decided it was time for her first bath at home. I was hoping that the bath would wear her out and she would sleep well tonight. She slept from 9:00 PM until 12:00 AM and then was wide awake the rest of the night.
