~(not so) Well child visit~

OK so we went to the pedi today for the first round of vaccines. Ugh. She screamed bloody murder, passed out cold in the car seat, fussed and whined when we got home, got fed, and now is passed out in her swing. She never takes naps during the day so I figure this is due to the vaccines. No biggie. She deserves (and needs) a nap!

She also weighed in at 12.13lbs (90%), length 23.25 (75%-90%), HC 41cm (90%).

You'd think I'd be over the moon with these results,but in fact I am the opposite. I'm crushed and I cried after she got weighed. Here is why:

Her last visit (which was a sick visit for reflux) she weighed 12.5lbs. Shedid not stay the same, and she did not gain, she LOST weight. She has really really bad reflux, like to the point of being on the strongest meds you can be on it for a wee bairn. My mother's instinct told me she was not on track and this proves it. She should have weighed in between 13-15 lbs, the doctor confirmed that. So this proves to everyone else that she is indeed spitting up 90% of what she takes in and no I am not crazy. In your faces. All of you.

We are now waiting for a call from the doctor to tell us when we go see the Gastro-Intestinal specialist at Children's Medical Center. *sigh*
