Dragging Isaiah to the doctor was a giant waste of time. Now, I love our doctor, but she didn't seem to realize we where there for a follow up (neither did the office ladies...I wonder how it was put in the system) and hadn't taken the time to look at his chart. She didn't say anything new, really thinks the squeezing is asthma or allergies, and told us to keep his appointment next week with the specialist. Glad I wasted the co-pay on that...seriously, her office called me TWICE to make sure I knew to bring him in if the complaints started again and when I did I felt like she thought I was wasting her time. Blah.
Micah is doing well. He only gained a little over a pound in the last 3 months but grew close to 2 inches. His weight dropped way down on the curve (from 50% to 20%) but no one seemed worried so whatever. I think he just had a growth spurt so he hasn't chunked back up from that. Also, since he prefers food to nursing when food is around, he definitely isn't the full-time nurser Isaiah was and isn't getting as much fat. If they are using the growth chart for formula-fed babies, he's going to be in a lower percentile anyway. I didn't think to ask about the curve. Obviously, it's not something that concerns me. Height is still low (12-15%, can't remember) and has a huge noggin (75%!) I think he's getting two new teeth...I've seen one on the top and the doctor noticed one on the bottom. No wonder he's been fussy the past day or two!
