Well child--children--checkups

Madeleine had her 15th month appointment yesterday. Here's the breakdown:

Height: 32.5" (97%)
Weight: 23.4lbs. (50%)
Head circ.: 47cm (75%)

She continues her trend of being quite the string bean. Fortunately, although she's technically underweight for her height, she's maintained the same growth curve since she was born so the pediatrician isn't concerned. She also got two shots: one for chicken pox and one for tetanus. This means we're shot free for her 18th month appointment! Hooray, especially considering Junior could possibly be around by then if he comes early. Yikes!

Junior and I also had an appointment today. Things continue to look really good. I've decided that if we get pregnant again I will only agree to doing so if I'm not pregnant during the dark days of winter here in Montana. I am far healthier this time around and my weight gain to date is half of what it was last time. When pregnant with Madeleine, I overindulged all of the time, mostly to appease my raging hormones. I feel much more even keel this time around even with so many life events up in the air.

We continue to wait to hear news about the job situation. Once that happens we can make decisions about where to live. Justin is trying to distract himself during this waiting period by going fishing and camping. I hope it helps him. I feel very much at peace with everything and know that whatever happens will be in the best interest of all parties (but you can still pray that we stay here in Missoula if you want!).
