Check Ups

Today was the day for dr. visits. Grisham weighs in at 17 lbs and 15 oz. He's in the 43rd percentile for weight. His big head is in the 90th percentile and for some reason, he's not growing much length wise, he's still in the 36th percentile at 26.5 inches long, but that's okay. He had to get 3 shots again, but he took it like a champ. He cried until they were done. The nurse handed him to me and he immediately stopped crying. His next check up will be at 9 months and he'll just get his finger poked to check his iron levels. The only negative part of his visit was that we were referred to a Urologist because the skin on his privates has become attached in places that it shouldn't be. I am praying that my baby won't need surgery because that would break my heart.

Gavin is only in the 5th percentile for weight, weighing in at 51 pounds. He will go back in about 6 months or so just to make sure that he is growing on his curve. He's 51 inches tall, which puts him at the 17th percentile for height. He got his finger poked today to check his blood, and everything they checked turned out perfect! :0) However, after getting his finger poked, the nurse left the room. I kept telling Gavin that he needed to get his clothes back on. He kept saying that he couldn't. He didn't feel well. I looked at him and he was as white as a ghost, under his eyes were blue and he started dripping sweat. I ran out to the counter and had someone come in. He came VERY close to passing out. I'm so glad he didn't, because that would've scared the crap out of me. Afterwards, we met Aaron for lunch and then I took Gavin for ice cream.

Later in the day, I went to the dr too for my "female" check up. I really like my new dr. Nothing else to report on this topic. LOL
