18 Month Stats

[judyblume14]

L - born at 38 weeks; came home from hospital at 5lb 3oz. Not on the chart for height til one month, or weight til 2 months.

Now she's 22 pounds and in the 39%, and 32 inches and in the 65%.

Doc says she's a healthy, growing gal, right on track with milestones. The only box she couldn't check off was stringing together a 2-word phrase.

[jt2378]

Awwwwww go L! They are growing so fast, did she have any shots? I'm pretty sure they do at this visit and then done for a long time??

H goes next Friday, can't wait to see how much she has grown

[judyblume14]

Oh, yes. One shot. One blood draw (but they couldn't get anything from her left arm, so dug around in her right arm as well). Sooo glad it was dad's turn to take her.

[spacedcadet]

Yay! G's appt is next Thursday. He has one shot left and then nothing until 4? I think.

Wow. That was some interesting autocorrect. Lemme try to fix that.

We don't have ours until next week. His is later than usual, but I had to schedule it when we are on vacation.

It's crazy how fast they are growing!

[spacedcadet]

G is 24 lbs 14 oz and almost 32 inches tall. Everything looked pretty good. I did express a little concern about his words but the pedi said that they wouldn't evaluate anything until 2 and he seems to be using more words the past couple of days as well. He seemed to start saying "what's that?" And "no" so maybe he is just getting to the 18 month word explosion or whatever. No blood tests or anything, just the one shot. All and all good appt and the next appt is when he turns 2.

[jt2378]

We went this morning, H is 24 lbs 71%, 33 inches tall (don't have the correct percentage because the sheet says 32 but the nurse told me a little over 33 so clearly written wrong) 19.3 in head 98%, lol

She was not happy through most of the appt so that was fun! Everything looks great, she isn't overly worried about the talking thing but did say I should call back in a month if it doesn't increase at all since she is right on the cusp of where she should be. She said maybe we could talk about early intervention then, boo...Interesting how my pedi says we might do it in a month and spacedcadet's said they won't evaluate till 2.

Hep A shot and then round 2 of Hep A at next appt. No blood draw

[jt2378]

Poor T @adulruna, we had lots of tears too but even when she was just giving her a check up..It really escalated when the shot came.

Hmmm H doesn't really drink WCM either but didn't do blood draw for Vitamin D

C had his 18 month appointment this morning. He's 22lb9oz (25%), 32 1/4in (50%), head is 18.5 inches (50%).

Doc was slightly concerned about his weight, since he dropped to the 25% this appointment, but he hasn't had a huge appetite the last couple weeks with being sick. I suspect he lost some weight, and just needs to gain it back and catch up.

[jt2378]

Wait, I was just looking at my post and head says 19.5, @giamia923's says 48.5, wut?

G has a huge noggen lol. I just double checked the sheet to make sure that is right. Is yours right?

YES! H says 19.3 in and 98% so huge noggen here too, WTF is with the number discrepancy? Someone help me and Gia here, LOL

[jt2378]

It's gotta be...

ya i googled, 48.5 cm is like 19.0 inches, they are both big heads, lol

[doglover31]

We had the appt yesterday. My guy is 26 lbs (53%) and 33 in (like 70th percentile) and his head was 50cm. I forget the percentage but he has a big noggin.

He also had his iron checked and got two shots. I asked the pedi about how many words he should be saying. The pedi said he doesn't worry about that at this point and that he is doing fine.

My pedi is retiring so now I'm having to find a new one! Ugh let the searching begin.

[jt2378]

doglover31, ugh I hate having to find new doctors, GL! Glad his appt went well
