7/12/11: 3 Year Well Visit

Our little girl is growing up! Sometimes it's still hard to believe we have a 3 year old.  I have a serious love/hate relationship with age 3.  Let's face it, sometimes 3 year olds are royal assholes. On the other hand when they are actually behaving they may just be the cutest, sweetest things on the planet.

Morgan had her well visit today and it was her first "big girl" doctor visit.  She got weighed by standing on the scale and her height was measured by actually standing against the wall.  People, I'm raising the next Jennie Finch.  She is 40 lbs and 40 inches which is 97th percentile for both.  Paul and I were talking and wondering where these other 3% of kids are that are taller than her and debating their existence.  If they do exist, I've never seen them.

After that we moved on to the eye test where she had to tell the nurse what the shapes were on the eye chart. There were things she could see that I couldn't.  Maybe it's time I hit the eye doctor.  Have I mentioned yet that I had Rylee with me at this appt?  She spent her time running amuck and trying to throw Morgan's flip flops away in the garbage can.

After we got in the room they had her change into an actual gown.  She was a little nervous to talk to the doctor but all in all they say we have a perfect growing little girl!  We got all her paperwork signed off on for preschool and we headed on our way! Yay for no shots!  At this rate I will have huge guns by the time she is 4.

Merry Christmas to us!

That's right people, we are officially insane and have decided that children should outnumber the adults in this house. Baby Stoicoiu #3 is set to arrive sometime around Dec 13, 2011 and hopefully not a day later.  Knowing my kids I have no chance in hell this child will  be on time. We are just entering the 2nd trimester here soon and everything has been going well.  I'm totally going to jinx myself here but so far I've felt great with little to no morning sickness.  This was a huge relief after how bad I had it with Rylee. My only complain is being ridiculously tired on the regular but I'm like that whether I'm pregnant or not.  The two toddlers don't help much either.  We are going to be uber busy come this winter but I wouldn't have it any other way!

In other news, Rylee had her 1 year checkup today and weighs in at 21lbs 9oz and is 30 inches tall.  She's doing great and we should be getting her blood results back soon!

3/24/11: Rockstar Patient

I'm talking about this little girl.  I had to get bloodwork done at the lab and I figured while we were there Rylee could have her lead test done.  I had to get it done sometime before her 1 year well visit and there's no time like the present!  

We got to the lab and she went first.  I was totally ready for screaming, wailing and basically her just not having it. They put the little blue band around her arm to look for a vein. She didn't make a peep but started looking around like heyyy what's going on here...  She got sad looks from every nurse that walked by because who wants to see a wittle baby get a needle in her arm!  Anyway, they found a good vein and got the needle ready. I waited, and waited, and waited. They put it in, drew her blood, and took it out.  She never.made.a.peep.  Not even a noise. I couldn't believe it. I think when they drew MY blood I made more noise!

This is the best I could get of the both of them.  I have to add that Morgan was exceptionally good when we were at the doctor but didn't want anything to do with watching them put a needle in her baby sister. She did get a cool Hannah Montana sticker though.

What a trooper!
