Today we went to the dr. for Harper's two month check up and to our surprise she weighs 13.01 lbs now and is in the 84 percentile. "Growing like a weed" they say. For height she is in the 78% and for Head she is in the 26%. When he was checking to see if her hips pop out it took him longer than normal because in his words "she has really strong legs". I already new this, however, because when I was pregnant with her I swore she was gonna break my ribs. Unfortunately, during this appointment she had to get her first set of vaccines and I couldn't even watch and her cries were heartbreaking, but I know it is for the better! He also checked her herniated belly-button and told us it is a very large hernia but that most surgeons wont do anything until the age of 3 because the risks of the surgery are greater than the hernia itself. He also looked at her skin, which they told me last time had eczema, but he said it wasn't very bad and that it was probably just dry skin. He did order us some Eucerine to use on it though.
While we were there we asked the Doctor check Aurora's ears because she had been tugging at them lately and waking in the night screaming but he said her ears look great.......Thank goodness no antibiotics(being that she is allergic to penicillin it makes it more difficult). Now the question is why is she waking up so unhappy every night, could be nightmares/scared of the dark, or she may be getting her canine teeth which haven't reared their ugly heads yet. I am gonna go buy her a nightlight to see if that may solve the problem. Anyhow, we have happy healthy kids and we are so blessed!
Also while we were at the clinic I had to get a blood pregnancy test done because tomorrow I am having an IUD placed and the 24 hour before pregnancy test is standard. Fun fun we get to spend time at the clinic again tomorrow.
Fortunately, I have a very helpful husband who took time out of his busy work schedule to come to the clinic and help me with the kids.......two under two can be very difficult in public (or anywhere for that matter). Thanks, honey!
So far our day hasn't brought any other events worth mentioning, so we will be on to let you know what our day brings tomorrow! See you soon!
