Ryan and Caleb both had their check ups this week at the dr. Ryan for her 4 yr and Caleb for his 9 month. After spending 1 1/2 hrs at the doctors office Ive decided I will never do 2 children in the same visit again. It wasnt because they were so slow but because I had so much to discuss about each of them. Im thankful for a doctor who does take the time to listen and offer ways to help. Caleb weighed in at 19 lbs 4 oz which is less than a lb heavier than his 6 month checkup. I had been worried the last 2 months that my milk supply wasnt doing it's job for him and had been trying to get yogurt and other milk into him to help him stay full longer and sleep longer! I mean the boy doesnt look malnurished but is constantly hungry because my milk stinks at this time. However, the kid wont give it up and let me give him something else! But after talking to the Dr we are really going to try to get 6-8 oz of soy formula into him each day and also allow him the comfort of nursing and hopefully that will help the boy sleep longer for naps and night time. Yogurt before bed has helped a lot but we are hoping formula will help with naps. Caleb was only 28 in long which is fine, but Im in shock that we have a kid only in the 50 % for height!! That's why he doesnt look like he is getting skinny. Owell average or tall I still love my Little man!! He is adorable!!
Ryan was happy to have her checkup with a doctor she describes as "very nice!" No shots this time bc I wasnt ready for Hep A and I had already promised her that at 4 there were no shots. So we will wait for a shot that I havent looked into yet. However she was of course 90% for height and 10% for weight. My skinny girl! Takes after her mama! I also talked to the Dr about Ryan's still constant problem of wetting her pants several times a day. Scott and Ive come to the conclusion that something just isnt right. We have tried everything and no matter what she still has accident after accident yet her sister 1 1/2 yrs younger has no trouble. I thought Ryan was being stubborn and defiant but the more I thought about it the more Ive realized that that isnt her personality. She loves to please us and do well and hates to be disciplined. So we decided to ask a dr. After a normal pee test (which Ryan thought was really fun) the dr has decided to send us to a urologist to have her checked out. The dr did noticed that the dimple abover her bottom is not centered to her "crack." That could be a sign of nerve problems. I couldnt believe that even a dimple above our bottoms has a reason and can tell us things. God is amazing!!! Anyway, she could be fine but we need to get her checked out to make sure her nerves to her bladder our working correctly. Should be interesting! She may even need to have an MRI done of her spine. Now that Ive been told what could be the problem Im hoping she is just defiant! haha! Boy our attitudes can change so quickly! Im just praying that whatever her problem it is minor and we can get her fixed up so she isnt embarrased as she is getting to an age where she is definitely understanding. Now I have to be ready to forgive myself if there is a problem that she couldnt help after I have been hard on her the last 1 1/2 yrs! That will be so hard to do! I know that her tender heart will have no trouble forgiving me though!
