Jordyn's checkup

Jordyn had her 5 month well check today and she weighs in at 17.1 pounds and 24 1/2 inches long. Percentage wise, she is in the 90's for weight and only in the 40's for length. So she still is about as wide as she is tall;) I think she lost a little weight from being sick though. She was 18.9 pounds on Thursday with clothes on. It's not that big of a difference from having clothes on, is it? That just seems like a lot. She didn't want to eat much the last few days so I'm sure she lost a little bit anyway. It was also confirmed that she did have double full blown ear infections. He said there was some pus in there so Thursday must have just been the start of it. They were only slightly red then and he said that it can change in a matter of six hours. Yucky! And since she still had yuckies in her ears, they couldn't give her shots (not that I wanted them to give them to her anyway. I am just getting her feeling a little better). We missed her four month appointment and is behind so we get to go to the doctors again next week for her shots! Yay! Three times in two weeks. I'm so excited. And now my hubby is sick and feverish so I have another sick kid to take care of;)

I'm sorry to hear about all the sickness. It really seems to be going around right now. Hopefully you can stay healthy. It is always so hard to be the mom and be sick.

Yes it is going around right now. A husband is 10 times more difficult to take care of than a child. You poor thing, I hope everyone is better soon.

I just now saw that quote about Mr. Pibb and Dr. Pepper. Hilarious. Hopefully you guys don't stay sick for very long. We all still have a lingering cough from being sick a few weeks ago.

Yay! Now her ear drums have burst! I think I'm going to get another Dr. Pepper;)
Thanks for the good wishes! At least she is sleeping better at night again. That helps a lot!!
