Appointment updates

Well, I took Keira to her 15 month check-up this afternoon. She's still a little one. She is 28 1/2" long, and weighs 19lbs. 7oz. The doctor didn't seem particularly concerned with anything since she was still within her "normal" range on the growth curve...right around the 5th percentile in everything except head circumference, in which she was the 50th percentile. The doctor also said that she seemed fine developmentally, and that's a relief, not that I had any doubts.
She got 3 shots today, DTaP, varicella and MMR. This is the last round of shots she'll need until kindergarten. Hooray!

I also got a call from my doctor's office today. At my 18 week checkup last Wednesday (baby's heartrate was 150bpm), I had the quad screen done (it screens for birth defects such as Down's Syndrome and Spina Bifida). Anyway, the results are in and they were all negative. Thank God. I hope this means we'll have a normal, healthy baby. We go in for an ultrasound on July 5, and hopefully we'll see if we'll be adding a boy or another girl to our growing family. I'll keep you posted.

Oh, and by the way, we're still waiting on our new nephew to make his arrival. Becky's due date is July 4, and we're getting impatient to meet Aidan!!
