Karys:
- 19lbs 4oz (off the charts)
- 26" (?? percentile) - the nurse measured her at 26" but then wrote down 24", which put her in the 34th percentile.
- Karys did great and there were no concerns at all - a very healthy (and chunky!) 4 month old.
- 6 immunizations, 5 pokes :( - never will I let her get that many at once again. It was a big mistake that I feel horrible about. My poor baby. :(
Aliyah:
- 43lbs (with me holding her on the scale and then just me standing on the scale)
- 3'5" (maybe?! wouldn't cooperate)
- This stubborn and strong-willed little girl did not want anything to do with the doctor's office today. We started walking back to the room and all that everyone in the whole office heard was Aliyah screaming, "NO! I want to go that way!" (pointing towards the exit door), "NO! That way!!!" She refused to stand on the scale and absolutely refused to stand up against the wall for her height. The whole time that Dr Dyk was talking to me and examining Karys, Aliyah sat in a chair with her head behind the back of another chair so that she didn't have to look at Dr Dyk and he couldn't "look" at her. When Dr Dyk tried to examine her, she screamed, flailed, kicked, and fought tooth and nail. She wouldn't let him even look into her eyes from all the way across the room. He tried to listen to her heart and lungs but she fought so hard that he eventually gave up. It was obvious from her screaming that her lungs are fine! ;) Oh well, I guess we'll try again when she turns 4. Good thing she didn't need any immunizations today!
- I'm not sure who was more traumatized by the event, her or me. By the time we got out of the office I was drenched in sweat!
