Appt Update

Katherine's check up went well, very well actually.

Over the past couple of years, Katherine has been gaining a little too much weight than what is considered normal.

This year she only gained 3 1/2 lbs which is right smack dab in the middle of normal (3-4 lbs per year). She has decreased her BMI by 1 % and is leveling off as far as where she is on the flow charts. She was in the 50 percentile for height, and the 75th for weight which was a drastic improvement over last year.

Virtually the only concern was her chronic ear infections/fluid in the ears which she did have today (fluid). I explained to him that sometimes she complains that she can't hear and how she is constantly saying that her ear hurts. He wants to see her in a month to see if the fluid is gone (she is just getting over a horrific cold so it makes sense that the fluid is there now). So, we will see what happens.

Julia was little miss cranky pants at the end but she fell asleep in the car almost immediately after we pulled out of the parking lot so that explains that.

Emily and Katherine are playing out in the yard right now, in their spring coats! YAY for fairly warm week!
