4 Month Checkup

We went for Katelyn's 4 month checkup today and of course she is still way healthy!!!
She weighs a nice 17.5lbs ( off the charts) and is 25 1/2 inches long ( 90th%)!! I am still totally breastfeeding her and the Dr recommends i still not start her on cereal or foods until 6 months, because like he said, she doesnt need it, i am giving her plenty! So David enjoys the fact of saving more money for the time being!

I was also very impressed with our Drs office and hope all the others are doing the same. The well children stay in the waiting room and they have a nurse right at the door to ask if you child is sick and if so puts on mask right on them and sends them on back to a sick only waiting room, no where near the well children. Then the well children go to the same rooms and the sick children use the same rooms, never will a well child go into a room where a sick child has been. Also we used to wait for shots in a waiting room and all go to the same room, not anymore, the nurse comes to the room to do shots, so Katelyn never had to be around a sick child, thank goodness! The doctor did say they are seeing between 30 and 40 kids daily with the flu and are having to hospitalize about 2 or 3 a week and he is expecting that to be more soon. Kinda scary!

He is also highly recommending when Katelyn turns 6 months to get both flu shot and swine flu, seems like most kids who are getting the vaccinations are not getting sick and if they do theirs is a much much milder case. So I would recommend now everyone getting vaccinated and not spreading this junk around!!
