Well Baby Check Ups
Posted: 12-03-04 22:11pm

Well, since most of you are still pregnant I will tell you about the next step. The well baby check ups. Today my baby had her 9 month check up.

Weight - 14.9

length - 27"

head circ. - 16.75

she got her hepatitis b #3 vaccine and was tested for anemia. She is not anemic. She is perfectly healthy and beautiful!! If you haven't noticed, she is a little small. Both of them are like that. Laughing

Chai. The doctor was concerned at first because she was 6.11 at birth. And she hasn't grown much after that. Sad but, everything else is right on track if not ahead of schedule (probably because of big sister). She does wear 6-9 month clothes because of her height she needs the long pants. If it were summer she could probably wear 0-3. She is tall and thin. She's going to be a super model! Laughing

Lucky you I wanted a small petite girl I got a moose! She weighed 8 lbs 8 oz coming from a mom that weighed 100 lbs before she was pregnant. She just finally slowed down she weights 28 lbs and she is two and a half.

I went for wic yesterday and hed to recertify the girls
rheana is 33 mon and weighs 36 lbs
and olivia is 19 mon (on wed) and weighs 30 lbs (my little fatty)

rheana never ate good until recently.. They eat when they need to, she is having a growth spurt, so she is also having increased appetite, and olivia has always been a big eater but lately is sliding into the phase that she doesn;t want to eat....

Sorry, I didn;t get their height, they were both sick and rheana was fighting everything, they had to get their finger stick and rhe had just went to the dr the day b4 and had the weight, height and fingerstick, so she didn't want a "shot" again

when we picked her up to put her on the scale and then the height thingermerbob (!) she kept her knees up and wouldn't stand their..... Rolling Eyes

I don't understand, is that what you meant, or did you mean that it is ridiculous when we cannpt qualify for wic? Because we a re one income household with 5 mouths and why shouldn't we qualify...Serving our coutry is even more of reason that we should qualify....We pay taxes and everything too

you know how many people that I have met that actually think that when you are in the military you don't pay taxes?!?!?!?

How dumb is that? We are paying the peoples checks that are paygrades lower than us.. Hee hee

My dad has been in the military for almost 30 years. He'll finally be getting out in like april/may. I would never talk down about the military or military familys. I'm sorry if you thought that. I just think it's sad that the people who serve our country don't get paid s@#!. Just like teachers. You know, the most important jobs don't pay anything.

Oh, now I see what you are saying,,oops, you mean it is sad that we should even need something like that..... When I was preg with rhe and oli we didn't qualify because we were dual military, but I got out when oli was only3 1/2 mon and got on wic when I was about 6 mon preg with emma, so we are all on it now, but I missed out on 2 1/2 yrs with rhe and a little over a yr with oli and never had it during anyh other prenancy with myself

i hope the people that lie to get it know that if they get caught they will have to pay every penny back. That happened to a couple of my friends, and it is not worth it
