Appointment update

So, you ask - how big is she?

She's 31 inches tall. That's 95th percentile!
She's 21 pounds 9 ounces. That's 59th percentile. She's surpassed many of her little friends who are 4+ months older than her.

What else did they have to tell us at her appointment? That she needs to have further testing due to that UTI she had last month. The doctor presented it to us was an option, but made it really sound like if it were his child, he'd do it.

Basically, if we don't do this test then each time she goes in for a fever (without other cold symptoms), they will cath her to get a clean sample. And this could be until she's like 5-6 years old I think.

So anyways, next thursday she'll be going to the hospital to have a renal/bladder ultrasound. She'll also be having a Voiding Cystourethrogram. (You can google that) but basically they'll fill her bladder with a contrast, then take xrays as she voids to see if the urine is going where it should and not going where it shouldn't.

I'm not looking forward to it, and I don't think Laura would be either if she understood any of it. The doctor said that if she was 4-5 years old and got her first UTI, that it could probably be attributed to a bubble bath or getting dirty there, but with a child this young, he said 1 in 4 girls this age have reflux. Please pray she's the 3 in 4 that don't.

Oh, she also got her hep a and flu shot yesterday. No mmr and chicken pox yet. they do those ones at the 15 month visit apparently.
