My kid is weird, and I love that about her
Yesterday was Ellie's 2 year checkup. The best part about this checkup is that there were no vaccine shots! The worst part was... well, there ended up being no worst part. How cool is that?
For this visit she weighed in at 25 lbs, 13 oz (40th percentile) and measured 35.25 inches (85th percentile). Dr. S says she's growing beautifully, and this is the time when little ones start to really slim down (Ellie's a perfect case of that).
Dr. S is just so good with her. She's usually really shy around men, but he got her laughing right away. That's always the way to break the ice with Ellie. He lit up her belly button with the instrument he uses to look in her ear, which she thought was absolutely hysterical. He tickled her, which totally cracked her up. He pretended to eat her toes, which again got her giggling.
In between, he spoke to her and me in a calm, soothing voice, and it put both of us at ease. He really does have a wonderful bedside manner. This was the main reason we decided to have Dr. S be her primary pediatrician within the practice; I still remember how much he helped us when Ellie was in the hospital at 2 months with supposed pneumonia. If it weren't for him, I'd have totally been freaking out. He's also the doc that gave us Teri's name, so we're forever in his debt for that.
During the visit, Ellie was talking and animated and even did her happy dance for Dr. S. I was so glad she gave him the opportunity to see her in action; telling him she can talk is one thing, but her showing him is another thing all together.
She did need to have a finger prick done for a hemocrit/hemoglobin test and lead test, and I was flipping out prior to it. When the nurse came in to do it, I was trying to remain calm but I'm really bad when it comes to blood. I held Ellie in my lap, and when the nurse pushed down on the little cutter they use, I winced while Ellie just stared in wonder. How is this my kid?
The nurse had to take a decent amount of blood for the tests, so she had to squeeze and collect over and over again. I was trying to keep my lunch down as Ellie watched, completely fascinated with the whole ordeal. She seemed amazed that the blood was coming out of her finger. She didn't cry, hell it seemed like it didn't even hurt. The nurse put a bandaid on, and that was it. No fuss at all. I swear Ellie's gonna be a doctor or a nurse when she grows up.
So that was it. Ellie enjoyed her doctor's visit. Like I said, my kid is weird. And I love that about her.

I'm going to Richmond (And DC)!
Some friends and I decided that if Barack Obama got into office, we'd all get together for the inauguration weekend and celebrate. Well, he did, and so, we are!
My friend, Cristina, has graciously opened her house to us in Richmond, VA, so I'll be staying with her from Jan 16th-18th. It's a short trip, and I can't stay for the actual inauguration day, but I'm just so excited to be sharing what little time I have with people I've grown to love over the past year and a half. These women mean the world to me, and I finally get to meet a few more of them in person. Yay!
We'll be going into DC on Saturday to hopefully check out a few of the museums at The Smithsonian, some monuments, etc, and Cristina is trying to talk us into doing the Segway Tour. Me? On a Segway? I trip over my own feet while walking! We'll see. It is a great way to see all the major points of the city in a short period of time. Hmmmmm.
I'm taking the train down, which is WAY better than driving. Can you imagine driving from CT to VA on Friday during morning rush hour commuting in CT/NY/NJ and then hitting DC around 3pm? No thank you. I stop in at Penn Station on Friday for about 1.5 hours (What to do?), but my train ride back is straight through. I'll definitely be bringing an MP3 player along. I'd bring a book, too, but I can't read on a train (or a car or a plane for that matter). Sigh.
The biggest thing about this trip is that it will be my first time away from Ellie. It kinda scares the bejesus out of me, but I need to do this. Harry's gonna be with her the entire time, so at least I don't have to worry about what's going on with her. I missed out on the Vegas trip last year because I couldn't even fathom leaving her for just one evening. Now I'm testing the waters with TWO nights away. Yikes. Cristina has vowed to help me though it, though. I know I can do this.
I guess the only thing that sucks right now is that it's over 2 months away! It can't come fast enough.
