X - Rays...

So Hannah went for her 9 month appointment with the doctor on Tuesday, and the news was mixed. She is doing good weight and height wise but has fallen a bit in her progression. Her official by the doctor 9 mos stats are...

15lbs 4 oz( take off 7 oz for their scale and the diaper)
26 inches
head circumference 43cm

She is quite impressed with her physical development especially her curiosity. Dr. Malik had a hard time with her stethascope because Hannah kept grabbing it and trying to put it in her mouth. Ahhh teething is great :)

Now for the other news... Her lungs sounded wheezy and raspy. She sent her for a Chest X Ray today. Lets just say there was an archaic nature to the procedure today. She had to sit on this table with a bicycle type seat and a hole in the middle, then a tall acrylic, clear cylinder was wrapped and secured around her. Her poor little arms were straight up in the air and all that I could hold was her little fingers :( Apparently this 'device' is designed to evoke a crying response in order to get them to take a deep breath. Well, I could have gotten her to do that without the acrylic tube! Poor little girl looked so scared and confused.

We will have the results tomorrow, and then she has to see a specialist to have her lungs checked over and allergy testing done. Fingers crossed that it is just an allergy that is easily eliminated. I really hope that she didn't acquire Asthma from the 2 of us.

Other than that things are good. She has finally started cruising the furniture, and anything else she can grab onto.

Nothing at knee is safe!!!

I will keep you all posted.

Sorry I am not home please leave a message

on the fridge... he he he

On the move...

First off I would like to start out with a quick messsage to all my MSN Spaces friends.... grrr I am still unable to leave messages on it so I give up.

Karen... You are the strongest woman I know I swear...my thoughts will be with you through this adventure. I am scrabble fan too... what a great way to pass the time. I love the fact that you are empowering you potential future baldness... you will save a fortune on shampoo for a while, don't forget to sunscreen though.

Randi... damn he is cute. Sorry about your freind, that has to be tough. I know a couple people with MS and it is a horrible disease. I hope he has found peace in his decision.

RebSteb... I am worried about you... are you OK? Oh and would you be interested in playing on a Tuesday 3 pitch league team? Nothing too competative but we are good... 2 and 1 so far.

So now on with the Hannah updates...

As of her 9 month weigh in she is officially 14lbs 11oz and 26.5 inches long.
She is now standing and moving between furniture, no cruising yet but she is close. She crawls like everything is a race... it is too funny. She has 6 teeth, 4 on the top 2 on the bottom and she is now chewing on everything she can get her hands on...errr mouth on. She is finally starting to get more vocal and has several 'sounds' in her repitoire... including but not limited to Braaa bra bra, and Mum mum mum mum, and then of course the various high pitch squeels and the fake coughs!

Well that is all for the moment, here is a video for your viewing pleasure...
