One Year Checkup

This morning Reese began her day with a trip to the pedi for her one-year check up.

Her exam began with the nurse taking her measurements. She was less than cooperative for the head circumference measurement as well as everything that happened on the scale. Her weight numbers were lower than I expected, but the doctor said that it could be due to her round of c-diff last month. Nothing like a month of diarrhea to slow down weight gain. Since overall she still gained weight, though, and she is showing growth in other areas he's not concerned.

Reese also received three shots this morning. She was NOT happy. They said that the final shot has a reputation for stinging as well as muscle soreness. I gave her Tylenol when we got home, but the first hour after the appointment was a pretty fussy one. At first she didn't want to walk or crawl--I'm guessing it made her leg feel bad. Once the Tylenol kicked in, though, she seemed to be fine. Fingers crossed for a fever-free afternoon.
