Doctor's Appointments

Ok, another post without pictures. Today we had many doctor's visits! I went to see mine and everything looks good. My doctor is wonderfully positive about my preeclampsia situation and she says things like, "your blood pressures look awesome" and "your pee is terrific (no protein in urine)" and "you might actually make it to your scheduled date." These things all make me feel like a little girl who is gleefully being praised for picking up her toys. I love it!

Our big drama of the day was well baby visits to the marvellous Dr. Caplan for both kids. Amelia was so nervous that after the nurse took her blood pressure, she awkwardly blurted out, "Doctor, Doctor, I love you!" Poor thing, she had to get 4 shots at the end and although she was very brave, it was awful. The doctor predicts that she will be 5'6"ish when she's full grown, and she is on the 50th percentile for her weight and height. Colin is 75th percentile for height, and Dr. Caplan thinks he will be 6" tall! Way to pass on the good genes, Mike! Colin also had a shot, but since he turned 2 he cries all the time and I have a heart of stone. He did some very excellent speaking during the appointment and Dr. Caplan was really impressed with his sentences. Overall, it was a gruelling visit and I'm glad they don't have to do it again for another year.
