This morning we took Little Miss to her 2yr checkup to a new pediatrician (new to us anyway) in Lebanon. We were EXTREMELY pleased with this doc and this appt - more so than we have been with either of the other 2 pediatricians that we have seen. Dr. J was very thorough and asked as many questions about Cadence as we asked him! We are making a few adjustments to her diet, and she will be starting a fluoride vitamin every day, but other than that she is a healthy little bunkin. We asked about her right foot turning in when she walks, which is not really bad by any means, but you know how Momma's are - we worry about everything. Dr. J thinks that it is Cadence's right hip that is actually turning in and that the problem will correct itself within the next few years without any need of appliances of any kind... whew! We are going to try to start breaking her from her "FooFoo" (pacifier) because it is starting to shift her teeth, but I know that it will be a battle with the baby having one and her not... please wish us luck with this. I am optimistic that we can do it - hopefully with me being home for 6wks I will be able to help her through this traumatizing experience :)... I'm thinking that I won't throw them away alltogether, I'll just hide them to begin with. Anyway, Cadence has finally put on some weight! She now weighs 24lbs, up from 21lbs at her 18mo checkup. This puts her between the 10th and 25th percentile for her sex and this is the highest she has ever been on her growth chart!!! She measures 32 inches - which is still only between the 5th and 10th percentiles, but she is just bound to be short like me and Dave. Her head circumference is still in the 95th percentile - which makes sense because it houses her HUGE brain! ;). All in all I couldn't be more please that we finally found a pediatrician that we like and addresses all our concerns and then some, and is close to home.
Now - about this other kid - I mowed the yard last night, and I have been cleaning my house and trying to stay on my feet, but I haven't had any labor pains... tonight I am going to play outside with Cadence and get good and rested up because tomorrow we are going to a park, any park, to walk until this baby falls out! This Momma is tired of being huge and pregnant!
I have some cute pics of Cadence eating some chili at home, I'll try to get on this evening and post them, I feel like I haven't put any good pics of her up in forever... and I still haven't asked for Aunt Sommer's memory card to post Cadence's B-Day pics, but I will do that soon too.
Hope everyone has a GREAT Friday, and a GREAT Labor Day Weekend. ♥
Dr Pawlowski is who we see in the office and we really really like her. She took care of Ellie when she was born almost 7 weeks early. You are going to a great office. you might want to think about taking Cadence to the chiropractor, Jayson Johnson in smithville. He works on lots of kids and is great. He cured my brother of a mold allergy in one visit. No Kidding!!!!!
