We finally had CC's annual pediatrics appointment, and -- surprise -- she's healthy! Once again I am humbled by the robust health of my three children. It is such a blessing.
Unfortunately, she is proportionally even smaller than she was last year. She's 52.5 inches tall, which is the fifth percentile. But her weight is 53 pounds, which is less than the first percentile.
Her doctor isn't particularly worried, and neither are we. CC is generally very healthy, and has a decent appetite. But in the last few months, there have been two instances of a stomach bug where her body didn't handle it as well as kids normally do. So considering that, and her small size, the doctor ordered some basic bloodwork to make sure everything is okay.
Fortunately, it is. The labs have come back perfectly normal, which is a relief to us and to CC. And now we have a baseline to compare any future bloodwork against, which might really come in handy.
