3 Year Check-Up

Bells had her three year check-up today, she was 24.5 pounds (that's with clothes on), so she is in the 3rd percentile for weight and she is now in the 25th percentile for height, she just keeps getting taller! This appointment was with our family doctor, not the Growth Clinic, we go to the Growth Clinic next month where they weigh her naked so she'll probably be a little less.

Dr. Beck thinks Bella is doing wonderful, very smart and the perfect size for herself. She did have to get one immunization shot and got the H1N1 vaccine, they both sucked. Our nurse didn't realize how strong Bella is and when she got her shot in the leg she jerked really hard, the needle twisted in her leg and popped out so they had to redo the shot :( Bella was so upset, it's hard when they are babies, but this was so much harder with her knowing what was going to happen. She was beyond upset and screaming at the top of her lungs, I felt AWFUL!!!!

So rather than go back to school today she gets to go spend the afternoon with Grandma and Poppa. Her poor little thigh is bruised and she started breaking out in a rash immediately, but with Benadryl it seems to be getting better.

All in all, she was a good girl and it was a good visit. She got THREE stickers, I think Nikki felt so bad for the shot so she gave her extra :)

I still can't believe Isabella is three, and such a mature little girl. I'm thankful the shots are over for a year! :)
