Draya's Diary

Just how is our little princess doing these days?

On the heath front

Draya went to the Dr. for her 1 year check-up today. She weighed in at 19.5 lbs, 28.5 inches long. I guess all the food we've been stuffing into for the past week and a half has had some effect:)
The Dr. would like her to drink more fluids but other than that she's happy and healthy. She is now in the 25th percentile for a 1 year old, not adjusted.
As a part of her examination they had to draw blood for a blood test. As soon as the tech wrapped the rubber band around her arm she started to cry. It took two techs four tries before they could find a vein. No they didn't poke her each time but she still HATED it. When they finally did use the needle she cried even harder. Not a fun experience, poor peanut. Can't wait till we have to take a urine sample tomorrow morning.
A hard day at the Dr. and an evening spent playing with Z meant munchkin was pretty tuckered out. She dropped off to sleep in mommy's lap between 8:30 & 9, dozed though a diaper change and conked out quickly in her bed. Now it's mommy's turn to follow.

J had to have a blood test done too. I know they're not pleasant for our little ones. When J had his test, they had to stick him twice, 'cause they couldn't get enough from one vein. I'm glad they didn't have to stick Draya a whole bunch of times, in any event.

Glad to see she's growing well. What a good girl!

I've got to get J in for his follow-up and 1 yr checkup too. Thanks for the reminder.
