- We had Sophie's one year doctor's appointment yesterday. She has now officially fallen off of the chart. She is 16 lbs 13 oz and 27 3/4 inches. I had to go back and read my 9 month post and all of the super supportive comments so I don't fall into a funk about it. After the appointment I immediately went to the grocery store to buy all of the things the doctor recommended we try feeding her as we begin Operation Fatten Baby. We fed her a smoothie/oatmeal concoction that has about twice the calories she is used to eating in one setting and she acted like I do when confronted with a pile of french fries, which is to say, she chowed down. We have to go back for a follow up appointment in a month to reevaluate her weight. If she's not gaining a little more rapidly, then the doctor wants to run tests to make sure it's not a thyroid problem or some other ominous sounding issue.
- I filled up my gas tank yesterday and it cost less than $50. I felt like I won the lottery. I also had to check my owner's manual because I filled up 17.8 gallons. I have never gone over 17 gallons before and I was just sure the gas station was padding the numbers. Turns out I have an 18 gallon tank, I've just never let it get that low. Who knew. Conspiracy theory much?
- My husband, who made fun of me when I started the whole facebook thing, has now become an addict himself. He asked me how many "friends" I had yesterday (he already knew the answer), just so that he could gloat because he had two more than me. If anyone wants to be my friend so I can beat him, let me know.
- I have a miserable cold. Head hurt. Throat hurt. Body hurt. Things are so bad that Neil had to sleep in the guest room last night because I was coughing so much. That's a lie, I was snoring. Like a freight train, evidently. I was coughing, too, but I guess that wasn't what was preventing his sleep. He said he left because he didn't want to keep waking me up to get me to stop snoring but I have a sneaking suspicion it was just as much about him not being woken up. I missed him.

ReplyDeleteI filled up my MomVan for $44 yesterday and I swear when the guy told me the total (yes, we still have full-service here in the country!) I was all, "DUDE! $44? OUTSTANDING!" And he was all, "Whatever, lady...just pay..."
ReplyDeleteHow sad is it that I was excited to pay less than $50 for gas? Sigh...
I think Sophie's precious and adorable and delicious...regardless of her percentile.
OK, go back and lay down now.
Found your link on Buried w/ children. It sounds like it hasn't been a good week to go to the dr's....
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks healthy and happy...I wish I had that excuse to drink fattening drinks.
Hope you feel better!
I am sorry that you are sick. I hope that you feel better soon. And I say chart smart. It is just a piece of paper with estimates on it about how kids should be. If you daughter is developing fine and she is happy that is all that really matters. Right?
ReplyDeleteGreat news with the gas. Isn't it a relief? I am glad to hear the Sophil like the new foods - hopefully it will work. Sorry about the cold. I have one too and my dh hasn't sleep with mine for awhile. Seriously. We sleep in separate rooms whenever I am sick.
ReplyDeleteHope ya feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteGas here is $2.37 can you believe that??? OMG!
Maybe Sophie will just be petite! She doesn't look that light weight in her pics. That oatmeal stuff sounds reallly good though
Hope ya feel better soon!

ReplyDeleteAt least the Bean isn't pushing away the high-cal yummies. If she were, then you have to deal with THAT too. Oh, I hope you feel better...I feel something coming on today too....my head won't stop the achin'... =(
ReplyDeleteTry not to worry too much about Sophie--she certainly looks super healthy! Good luckw/the new foods--hopefully that will get her up on those charts!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're sick and hope you feel better really soon!
Boy, lots of things to comment about:
ReplyDelete1. I envy the bean - I was told at age 13 that I would lose my baby fat, but I am still waiting.
2. I had the same theory about gas conspiracy, and I still don't believe I have a 13 gallon tank. Come on! 13? Its a very unlucky number.
3. Sorry - I am already your friend and I just asked Neil to be mine...hey, maybe he will "Ignore" me. I have been wondering if the Ingoree gets a message stating that he/she is being ingnored.
I've seen gas for $2.50/gal here and although I'm psyched to pay $1 less than I have in recent months, there is something inherently wrong with that still!
ReplyDeleteAnd my husband was the same way; "are you on timewaster.com again?" aka FB, now he's addicted too! Funny.
I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing, I hope you feel better. I hope the high-calorie smoothies work for the Bean. She looks great, though!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear (via, the ultra-addictive facebook) that you are starting to feel better.
ReplyDeleteThe Bean is and will be a-ok!
Don't worry about the little bean, my brother weighed 13 lbs on his first birthday and now he is a strappin' man. Try 1/2 avacado and 1/2 banana creamed together, CRW loves this and it is full of fat and calories, the good kind.
ReplyDeleteI am also addicted to facebook now...and I'll be your friend ;)
ReplyDeleteMy good friend has 2 little peanuts and would constantly stress after seeing the doctors. Those scales can drive a Mommy insane. Do the tests if they make you feel better, but if she's reaching all her developmental goals (and it seems like she is!!) don't worry about it...she's just a peanut!
