Ana had her four-year doctors appointment on Thursday. Here are her stats from the appt:

Height: 41″ (75th percentile)
Weight: 35.4 lbs (25th percentile)
BMI: 14.8 (37th percentile)
Blood Pressure: 88/64

The nurse also asked for a urine sample which came back fine (I’m not sure what they were checking for). I am continually amazed that Ana was able to pee on command and into the cup. Granted, I held it for her, but still. She’s FOUR.

Then she got four shots, one in the arm and three in her legs. She was brave and managed not to cry for the first two, but by the third shot her eyes were brimming with tears and she said, “Mama, these really hurt.” I felt so bad. But I managed to console her by telling her she doesn’t have to get shots for TWO years. She felt a little better about that fact.

The doctor checked her over, asking her questions and to do things for him as he went (a nice sly way to check her developmental progress). He kept commenting on how well she was able to follow directions. I said we were very aware of this, as she is one super helpful big sister. Otherwise the rest of the appointment was uneventful and Ana happily picked out a sticker and a sucker and we were on our way! Until next year…
