An Eye Scare

Today, I had to bring Asher to the doctor. Aunt Leah pointed out yesterday that Asher's eye was really watery, puffy, and red around his eye. I was so scared it was an infection, something in his eye, or that he scratched it. Dr. Gesen gave him a look over and said he was fine. She explained... We produce tears all day long, and they drain through the nasal cavity. Some babies have really narrow tear ductiles, and they get backed up and swollen. She said a warm compress should do the trick. I was relieved. We did find out that Asher weighs 16.5 lbs and is 25.5 inches! Even the nurse said he was a big baby. Maybe that random tall gene did take to Asher. We'll see! Dr. Gesen also asked if he was a good baby, and he really is. Orvalle and I are so blessed to have such a happy baby, but it's not like we would return him if he wasn't :) We go back to Dr. Gesen in two weeks for his 4 month check up.
