Anna's check-up was today. Thankfully, she only required one vaccine, the DTaP.
Her stats:
20 pounds (just exactly the same as in February, for her 12-month)
31 3/4 inches tall (yes, she has grown 2 1/4 inches!!!)
and 17.5 head circumference (still small, but higher percentage-wise than before)
She's completely healthy. Our only concern is trying to bulk up her weight a little. Doctor Yamamoto said that it is important for her to get enough fat in her diet because her nerve endings and other things require it for optimum health. We are good with breastfeeding still (Doctor says that I can continue as long as it is comfortable and even until she's four!)
We have to get her bloodwork done soon, for the TSH levels and Free T4 (hypothyroidism). I am not looking forward to that, but hopefully Andre will come with us to the appointment. She also needs to have her blood iron checked because they didn't do it at her 12-month appointment.
It was nice to have my mother - whom Anna calls "GeehGeeh" - accompany me to this visit.
