Today was a big day. Patrick had his second weight check, the one that would determine whether we needed to go see a specialist for it and whether he needed a 15-month appointment. Despite some construction traffic, we still got there early. I've started planning for the worst construction traffic ever for every trip, and it seems to be working since we keep getting there early. It usually works out that we get seen early. Today we left the office at the time his appointment was supposed to start.
Okay, here's what you're all anxious to hear: Patrick weighs 17.5 pounds exactly. I'd told him before we left, while I was stuffing his belly with as much lunch as he could hold, that that was the minimum weight I'd be satisfied with. I wonder if he held his poop in just long enough so that he would weigh those couple of extra ounces.
The doctor was quite satisfied with that weight gain, up 3/4 of a pound from last month. We won't be going back until his 18-month appointment, barring any illnesses. Patrick also got the other part of his flu shot. He is turning into such a shot pro. He fussed for about ten seconds while I held him and then he was fine. By the time we reached the elevator, he was ready to flirt again already.
The other reason today is a big day is that Matt headed to Oregon for a business trip. It's been in the works for a while, and he found out almost two weeks ago that he was going this week. He left early this morning and will be back Wednesday night. It's an exciting experience for him, but that means I'm left all alone here with Patrick. So far, so good, but I'm afraid I'm going to get much more lonely after Patrick goes to bed tonight. I don't know how I'll make it through two more days without Matt. I can't wait until he makes it back home.

I hope you don't get too lonely while Matt is gone. Call anytime if you need to talk! I'm glad to hear about Patrick's great trip to the doctor. He sure seems healthy to us!
