2 Year Check Up

Hannah and I went to Fort Myers for her two year check up with Dr. Rodriguez yesterday. Hannah has only been to the pediatrician once in two years for anything other than a "well baby" visit, so we hadn't seen Dr. Rodriguez in nine months. She was amazed at how much Hannah had changed and was thrilled that she was potty trained--especially since Hannah had to give a urine sample. Hannah had complained a couple of times last week that it hurt when she went to the bathroom, so I wanted to make sure that she did not have a urinary tract infection. Dr. Rodriguez was so excited that Hannah could pee pee in a cup and would not have to be catheterized to obtain the sample. The only catch was . . . Hannah didn't have to go. So, she and I hung out in the waiting room. While she had a jolly time making new friends and counting the fish in the big fish tank, I kept pestering her to drink her juice and asked her every two minutes if she had to go potty. Finally, we got a sample, and we proudly walked it back to the lab, where Hannah also had her finger pricked for a blood sample. They will get back to me today with the results. Otherwise, everything looks great. She weighs 24 1/4 pounds, which falls in the 30th percentile range, and she is 35 1/4 inches tall (just shy of 3 feet), which falls in the 80th percentile range. Praise God for a healthy girl!!!
