We had our 9 month wellness check up today. I called yesterday to confirm our appointment after the hassle we had last time. Everything was confirmed so we packed up the boys and were even there early. As I started to get a baby out of the van, I realized the diaper bag was at home. Re-pack baby, go home for diaper bag (with fresh diapers since they strip them at the office) and back to the Dr. office. And we walked in only 4, maybe 5 minutes late!
The boys did well today. They were getting a little tired and somewhat fussy, but overall did very well (it was getting close to nap time). They were weighed and measured (see below) and then got their toe stuck for some blood work. No shots this time, but squeezing blood out of an infant's toe is harder than it sounds! The tests were for lead poisoning and hemoglobin levels. I'm guessing the lead test were sent off, but the hemoglobin levels were right were they should be. Logan didn't really notice it, Nick cried for a little while, but Alex took it the worst - which is odd for as often as he hurts himself. I think he was just tired.
Their stats:
Alex: 21 lbs 13 oz (75%); 27 3/4 inches (50%)
Logan: 18 lbs 0 oz (10-25%); 27 1/2 inches (25-50%)
Nick: 21 lbs 11 oz (75%); 28 inches (50%)
They enjoyed showing off for the doctor while she was in there. Logan was in push-up formation (completely off his knees) and Alex tried to scale the wall. Nick of course was just flirting! Everything was fine, no worries. They're doing everything they're supposed to be. And now we can start adding protein to our diets. Logan got excited to learn he could have steak (although I had to remind him he'd need to hurry up on those teeth).
That about sums it up. Nothing exciting. Back in 3 months for their 1 year checkup. Has time really gone that fast?!
