Bethany's second doctor appointment

Yesterday, mom and I took Bethany to her second doctor appointment. Getting a baby ready for a road trip takes time... from checking her diaper to putting her in the carseat takes about 25 mins. A 15-doctor appt turned into a two-hour marathon, factoring into the travel time.
Bethany weighs 8lb 8oz... and 3/4 inch longer / taller since birth. Her weight, height, and circumference of her head is all on track and measuring just fine.
The doctor checked her diaper rash... and I was relieved that it was not fugal infection. So, we need to continue with what we have been doing... a thick dab of Sudocrem on the affected area and change her diaper as often as we can (we have been changing her diaper once every two hours, and we do not use diaper wipes... simply just lukewarm water and a tiny washcloth does the trick.)
Her next appt is on Oct 20, and she will be getting her first set of shots... it will be the very first time I take Bethany out on my own as mom is flying home in three weeks, and Joe will be working on that day... so I will be flying solo!
