Today we went to the doctor for Katherine's 3 year well visit. We were supposed to go in 2 weeks but bumped it up to today because she kept saying her tummy hurt and she has a cough. With her birthday being this weekend I thought it was better to go in and be seen to make sure she is not getting sick before we have the festivities. Luckily she is OK and we have her well visit out of the way.
This was her first big girl check up which means she did not have to get undressed to get weighed. She is lucky that she has not had to go to the doctor since her 2 year check up so it was like a new experience for her. She did great. She weighed 26 pounds 8 ounces which puts her off the charts at a <3%. She gained 4 pounds since last year is small. What else is new? When it was time to measure height, she stood against the wall rather than getting measured on the table. She was not as cooperative as it was hard to be still. Her height is 35.5 inches. The standing scale started at 35 inches so we barely made it. She is 20% for height. They no longer do head circumference but added blood pressure. Hers is 78/50.
Katherine did great with all that they did. She had her blood pressure taken, vision test, hearing test, looking in the eyes, ears, nose as well as a general once over. She got a clean bill of health. Since we went in at the last minute we saw the nurse
practitioner who happens to be Kate's mommy from her class. I think that really helped her to be more at ease since she knew her doctor.

That is nice they let you go ahead with her check up. Our doctor will not let you do it until their actual birthday or later....
When Caitlin was younger, she was always in the 10% for weight...and one year between check up's she only gained ONE pound...but she was always 90% for height...
She is now 12 and taller than I am and wears a lady's size 10 1/2 shoe. It is CRAZY!!!!!
