Caleb Update

So yeah, I love our pediatrician.

His dr's nurse called this morning with some bloodwork reports and his u/s report. They checked him for lead and it came back as a 5. The normal range being b/t 1-10. So it's moderate. They told me to check his toys, our paint, etc. Well, I'm trying to keep his toys as natural as possible, wood, wool, cloth, as to avoid chemicals. And yes, our paint is chipping due to us living in older then dirt housing, but it's just chipping in the back. He's only in the back to sleep and not to chew on the walls. She said that they aren't "worried" but Dr H likes the levels to be 1 or 2. He's going to be rechecked at his 15 month appt.

Also, she said that they wrote wrong what percentile Caleb is in. He's not in the 50th he is in the 5th. Yes, I know that is a big difference but I expected it. When I came home to chart him on the breastfed babies chart it was around that percentile. So they wanted to make sure I didn't have any concerns about his weight, etc. I laughed and said no, that we just have small kiddos. His other percentiles were right. He's average heigth with a big ole head!

And for ultrasound.... Both testicles are in the canal and should descend on their own. The left higher then the right but they are not in his abdomen! Let's take a minute here to do a happy dance!


This will also be re-evaluated at his 15 month check and at his 18 month check. I'm so stinkin happy right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This will a
