Three Year Well Check

Two months after Cooper's third birthday, we finally went for her well check appointment.  I have already had to cancel this appointment twice because of the snow and I was so upset when it started snowing again.  I called to reschedule and they told me they couldn't fit us back in until the end of March.  So I was determined to get to the appointment.

Cooper was a trip during the appointment- she did great.  They did a vision test and instead of letters like the adults use, they had pictures.  The nurse pointed to a sailboat and Cooper said, "Tent."  When she pointed to a circle, Cooper said, "Circle, like an O- I have two of those in my name."  Her vision tested great.

She weighed 31.6 lbs and is in the 50th percentile for weight.  She was 3 ft. 2 in. and in the 75 percentile for height.  Everything looked great and I am so thankful she is healthy and happy and smart as can be.

She had to get her finger pricked and her h1n1 booster which wasn't fun, but she was fairly brave.  When we got home, I said, "Let's tell God thank you for getting us home safetly in the snow."  And she said, "Should we call him?"  She always keeps me laughing.  (Last night I told her to talk to the hand and she said, "Hello hand!")

I was able to ask him a couple questions about Carysn, even though her next well check is not for two more weeks.  The past couple nights Carsyn has started to roll over on her belly during her sleep or when we let her cry it out for a little bit.  This has worried me to no end, because I looked on the monitor the other morning and she was asleep and totally faceplanted into the mattress.  The pedi put my mind at ease a little about this and that she is big enough to be rolling over and how I shouldn't bug her or move her back to her back.  But I still worry.  He also says we can start giving her a little benedryl here and there when her excema is acting up.  I hate to do that, but sometimes she is so uncomfortable.  The rest of my questions will have to wait for her appointment.  Love love love our pedi, but don't love the office staff, nurses and policies of the practice.

Even though Carsyn's birthday is three months away, we are starting to get ideas about her party.  I am really thinking I want to do a ladybug theme.  Cooper's first birthday party was butterfly theme so I thought it would be cute to do maybe ladybugs.  We can't decide if we are going to do a traditional party or more of an open house.  It might be less chaotic if we can space all of our friends out over a couple hours than try to have a million people in the house at once.  Either way I am so excited!  Lots of fun things going on and in the LeBlanc house!
