babyAndersonmakes4! ~Due March 6th~: Health Issues

So this past Thursday was Emelyne's procedure to check her bladder & kidneys. Talk about one of the most anticipated days of our lives but not in a good way. We told Em a little bit about it, that they were going to put a camera in her body and take pictures. We were most worried about them getting her IV in, as she does NOT like shots in the least. (Who does?!) Thank goodness for supportive family! I wasn't sure if i wanted to be with her during the process, because i am already so emotional right now & even though i'm sure she'd want her mama, i knew it would be worse if she could see the concern and sadness on my face. Especially your children can read your expressions with no problem. So my mother-in-law & sister-in-law met us at the hospital. That was a huge relief because my SIL is a nurse and has no problem speaking up if she questions something. So I filled out the paperwork, and sent daddy & auntie in with her. Then out she walked to the waiting room where grandma & I were, and this is what she looked like...

Isn't she so sad looking? She was actually doing super considering the situation. She didn't really get upset, was just so curious about everything and had to know exactly what they were doing to her. Unfortunately we didn't get a photo of it, but when they came to take her downstairs to radiology department, they brought a wheelchair. Her exact words upon seeing it were "my legs arn't broken. I don't need this." Anyway, upon getting checked out by the doctor, they discovered she has a nasty double ear infection. Thank goodness that didn't interfere with the procedure. We'd just had her in to the doc on Monday, and her ears, nose & throat were perfect. She had the stomach flu though and was vomiting and diarrhea all day. This poor girl has had a realllllly tough week. But, to finish up with good news, all the tests came back negative & normal! No problems with her bladder or kidney's. Talk about a huge relief!!!

Now for baby boy, his 2 week check up was also on Thursday. He's 8 lbs 14 oz 22 inches. So he's grown a whole 1 inch in two weeks. Believe it or not, he's at the 92% for now for his height. (We'll see how long that lasts!) 57% for weight, and only 12% for head. (A small head is a good thing!) So none of those stats really matter if you ask me, they change and grown so fast but at their own pace. I do hope he grows slowly though, cause i'm trying to soak up every second of his tiny-ness that i can! Enjoy the pics!
