Lucy did well at her checkup today. Everything is perfect. She weighed 18 lbs., 12 oz. (60th percentile), was 28 inches long (65th percentile), and has a 17.5 inch head (67th percentile). She gained 3 pounds and 2 inches in three months. Her first tooth broke through on Sunday. She is crawling and pulling up and climbing everywhere. She is right on track developmentally. We think she has figured out "dada" and "mama," but she doesn't use them regularly enough to claim that she is talking. She eats nearly anything. Last night she ate a few (pasteurized) blue cheese crumbles, and she sucked on the lemon that came with my water at lunch today. She wants to be big so bad. She wants to walk and eat crunchy things. And recently she has discovered that big people use toilet paper. Hopefully, we can leverage that interest while potty training in the future. The nurse noted today that the only appointments Lucy has had are her well baby visits. Other than a very messy stomach virus a couple months ago and roseola two weeks ago, she's been healthy. We are very blessed. Matt believes she inherited his immune system. I'm all for that.
I also had a doctor's appointment today. With all of the medical visits in 2013, it seems like I go to the doctor all the time. But I hadn't seen my primary care nurse practitioner since April 2012, just after the bowel infection. After my most recent backpain/vomiting episode last week, I decided to get another opinion about my problem. The stretches the chiropractor showed me help when I have attacks, but if something could prevent the attacks altogether, I'd prefer that. The nurse practitioner scheduled a gallbladder ultrasound for tomorrow morning. I have a follow-up with her on June 30. While I was there, I got refills on a couple of my "as needed" prescriptions, had her look at a 3-week-old tick bite (nothing wrong), and had her freeze off a plantar wart on my toe. It was all very efficient, and I really like Nurse Tammy. I'll post an update when I know the results of my ultrasound.
