We had our first sick baby visit today. (I guess that's what you call it since when you aren't sick it is called a well baby visit). Anyway, Sunday morning Chance woke up with his eye glued shut by mucus. I wiped it with a warm cloth and we started about our day. All day Chance was very fussy which is really not like him. He didn't want to nap or play or really do much of anything. The only thing that would make him happy was when I would walk him around the room so he spent a while in the sling yesterday just hanging out. Also, his eye drained yellowy mucus all day. Last night he didn't have a good night he woke a few times and he hasn't really been waking up at all. This morning his eye wasn't glued shut but his eyelid and just under his eye was now pink and a little puffy. I called the Doctor and made a appointment for today at 2:30pm He was still super fussy all day up until the visit. The car seemed to sooth him a bit and when we got to the Dr's office he gave me a big smile (of course). He was still being fussy but when he doctor came in the room he gave her a big smile too. She said all babies do that just to make the Moms feel like they're crazy. She looken him over and then gave us a prescription for some eye drops. He has a little eye infection that she said should clear up in three days with these drops and if not or it gets any worse to come back in to the office. We got the drops at Walgreens and then came home. It was hard putting in the drops but finally we got some in his eye, He did not like that. He ate and is now sleeping which is great. He hasn't had a good nap since Saturday, he needs this one (not to mention me needing it too). I don't think I am going to put the drops in again today but he will get them 3 times per day starting tomorrow. He's a tough little guy and will pull through just fine but it is sad to see him so upset. On a better note I threw in some pictures here. His little hats are finally starting to fit him I kind of think he looks like a Pope in this one. Oh yeah and today he weighed 12 lbs 9 oz and he is 25 inches tall.

I thoroughly enjoy your blog, or chance's blog. My wife and I are expecting a little girl in June. Our first. Of course I know she will be little, but I still like to say little girl. Im a native of New Orleans, but have been living in Atlanta for 10 years now, so your blogs take me back sometimes. keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing.

I think the travel will go easier than you expect. Go to WWW.FAA.GOV OR WWW.TSA.GOV and you will find answers to your questions. I'm sorry about Chance's eye. I hope you get some nice weather and get to go out. :)
