Oh, that sounds like a difficult evening - I hope tomorrow goes better.
I suspect the reason you can't disengage from this is the same reason I can't: because every time K decides to have a day where she subsists on air and orneriness, I go right back to when she was two months old and I spent hours dancing her around in the sling, trying to convince her to take more than three or four sucks of the bottle at a time. Not being able to feed your baby isn't an experience that leaves you quickly. I spent a lot of this summer fighting the urge to find excuses to take K to the doctor so she could get weighed.
I was able to relax a lot after K's 15 month checkup, when she had gained over a pound since her 12 month visit. I hope Alex's appointment gives you similar good news.
