i was able to schedule three check-ups at once - madelyn (5 year), mason (3 year) and maddux (1 month). i thought that everyone was due for shots but it turned out that it was only mason. madelyn was very happy about this information and a little too happy to make sure mason knew that he was the only one getting a shot.
here are the stats for all four kids (maddux wouldn't get off the scale so the nurse weighed him too which worked out well since i couldn't find the sheet from his 18-month check-up. he won't stand on it for his own appointments though...):
madelyn - 47lbs, 2oz (85th percentile); 47in. (98th percentile)
mason - 38lbs, 6oz (94th percentile); 40.75in (97th percentile)
maddux - 30.5lbs (88th percentile); 37/38in. (99th percentile) - I couldn't see his height that well
manning - 13lbs, 3oz (94th percentile); 23.5in (88th percentile); head circumfrence 15.75in
mason didn't even cry when he got his shot. he was scared after madelyn's build up but he realized that it didn't hurt all that bad. such a brave boy.
and that was pretty much the appointment. no questions about mason's speech. no questions about manning's nursing or digestion. no questions about madelyn.
and that is why i am going to look for a new pediatrician. at least now i can ask my mops group for someone they love. one more thing for my list... at least everyone is healthy. love.
Yikes. Can't believe they didn't ask you any questions. Your second and third child weigh more (probably taller, too), than my first and second child - ha! Lorelai was very happy to point out when she didn't have to get shots, too. After the 4 year old ones, they are good for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI pray you find a new ped that asks lots of questions and answers yours. At least you know that they are all healthy!!
