Garrett: Human Pincushion

Today was Garrett's 2-month visit to the doctor and was it ever an ordeal.

I feel bad for the little guy.

First he has to get 3 needles (immunization time) and then the doctor thought he might have a hernia. Thankfully our doctor is someone who actually cares about her patients so she made sure we got in to see a pediatrician today. Luckily it's not a hernia, but it could be one eventually. We just need to keep an eye on his lower abdomen and hopefully he'll be ok by the time he turns 1.

We were worried he'd have to have surgery though. I don't want my little guy to have to have surgery at such a young age!

The other thing we found out today is that what we thought was a bruise on his chest from being passed around so much isn't a bruise at all.

Nope. Much like the beloved Krusty the Klown from The Simpsons, Garrett is the proud owner of a superfluous third nipple. I knew there'd be some kind of effect from standing too close to Ol' Leaky the Microwave during that year I lived with Dave... Sigh...
