Jacob Benedict’s First Month on Earth
Yesterday, we had our regular checkup with Jacob’s pediatrician. We arrived a little early being ahead some 15 mins the original time. It turned out that the doctor will be arriving an hour later, so we really pulled our patience that time. Usual procedure of getting the child’s weight, length, temperature etc. Then the doctor arrived checking his heartbeat even his poopoo. Everything is normal.
