The CheckIn

We had the kids 1 and 3 Pediatrician visits today.  Its always exciting with two in the small offices of San Francisco.

Here are the stats:

Fin:

• Weight: 27lbs 14oz
• Head Size: 53.5 cm
• Height: 33inches

Kai:

• Weight: 37lbs
• Height: 39.75inches
• Eyes: Perfect!

Hand Foot Mouth

Well one of those horrible diseases finally hit our home.  Kai was called out on Wednesday with the hand foot and mouth virus.  It was horrible, we have never seen him so sick.  He was so miserable.  We both took off work and took him into the drs.  They confirmed our worse suspicious.  

The virus produces sores on the hands, feet and in the mouth.  Kai had it mainly in his mouth so not only was he feeling bad, he also did not want to eat because everything hurt.  We tried some warm chocolate milk, bought ice cream, popsicles, apple sauce, etc.  He wanted really nothing.  Poor guy!

Happy 6mth Birthday

 Wait can you believe it, he is 6months old already.  He is growing fast and is oh so strong and such a happy little man.

The doctor was so surprised he could clap his hands already.  She also commented on how strong he was/ is.  It looks like we have another super special little man, of course!

The Stats:
Height/Length: 29" (Kai was this tall at 9mths)
Weight: 22lbs 5 ozs (Kai was this big at 1 year)
Head: 50cm (Kai's hit this mark at 1.5yrs)
 

Destroying the examination paper - he loved it

First Dentist Visit

Two month pediatrician visit (Fin)

We had the official two month check-up.  

The little boy is growing fast, his new statistics are:

• Weight: 16lbs 2ozs - larger than Kai at 4 mths old (Yikes!)
• Head Size: 45 cm
• Height: 25"

Special Dr Visits

Fin has his own urologist.  We are monitoring an enlarged Kidney and an undescended testis.  ON Tuesday we had his Radiology appointment to check on the status of all things.    

 The appointment went well.  There are no new developments and will be coming back in three months.  At that point we will have to see if the kidney corrects itself and if the testis makes it grand entrance.  If no further progress we will proceed with additional procedures and operations.

such a good baby!

tuckered out after all the scans!

One Month Pediatrician Visit (Fin)

The little boy is growing fast, his new statistics are:

• Weight: 14lbs 1ozs 
• Head Size: 44 cm
• Height: 24.5"

He was so good and only cried when being weighed!

Dr Visit (times 2)

Yikes, it seemed like such a good idea when I scheduled both Kai's 2 year check-up and Fin's 2 week visit... maybe though next time we will split the appointments.  It was a lot to handle and we had both of us there!!

Stats: 
Fin (2wks)
weight: 11lbs 3oz
height: 23inches
head: 43cm

Kai:
weight: 29lbs 8oz
height: 37.5inches

Big boy Scale... not a fan

Fin went first

Kai was nervous but then was brave

Croup = No Fun

What a scary illness for our little man to get.  I hope he never experiences it again.  It started with a little cold and blew up from there.  We had an urgent care visit on Sunday and then back to the Drs on Tuesday.  All in all two rounds of steriods to help him breath.  It was nice Ahmad and I both could take off of work for the week to be there with Kai.  Here what else makes someone feel better but milkshakes (Daddy knows best!)

Four Month Pediatrician Visit

On Monday, Kai's went in for his 4 month pediatrician visit.  This was another big visit.  He is growing fast and strong.  It looks as though he will be tall and thin just like Ahmad!

H new statistics are:

• Weight: 15lbs 15.5ozs 
• Height: 26.5" (off the charts!)

Getting Measured

Hamming it up waiting for the Dr

Two Month Pediatrician Appointment

On Thursday, Kai's went in for his 2 month pediatrician visit.  This was a big visit and I made sure Ahmad was with us as I did not want to be the only person he imprinted in his mind when it came to getting shots.  

The little boy is growing fast, his new statistics are:

• Weight: 14lbs 6ozs (off the charts!) 
• Height: 24" (95th percentile)

Waiting for the Dr!

One Month Pediatrician visit

On Monday, we were scheduled for Kai's 1 month pediatrician visit.  The little man was brave and did not spray the nurse or I, however, he did go thru 3 diapers before the Dr came in to see him.  I took that as he will work with me to cooperate but he does not have to like it there!

The little boy is growing fast, his new statistics are:

• Weight: 12lbs 3ozs (a whole 3lb gain in 2 weeks) - Ahmad wishes he could do that!
• Head Size: 40.5cm
• Height: 23"

Kai also received his second HepB vaccination.  Next month, he'll get a whole lot more and I am definitely bringing Ahmad!

1mth Dr. Visit and Kai's growing fast!

Pediatrician Visit

We were released from the Hospital on Saturday afternoon with a Monday Pediatrician appointment.  Kai was weighed, measured and assessed.  We love our Pediatrician, she is great, however, we are not so sure Kai likes his visits as they involve fully disrobing... but he got Daddy and the RN back by showing his displeasure with a spray of pee.
