Kieran's 6 Month Stats

Kieran did well at his appointment.  He cried for about three seconds and then was done.  The Dr. said he was a happy and strong little guy.  He weighed 16 lbs. 1 oz. (23%) and was 26 3/4 inches long (53%).  His head size was in the 50% range, but I'm not sure where.  I thought he would for sure outweigh Svea at this point, but she was actually 1 ounce heavier...crazy right?  He is 3/4 inches longer than she was though.  That's why he "seems" so much bigger and in larger clothes.  The Dr. also thought his head looked great.  We'll cancel our P/T appointment and we are done with that.  I hope his head rounds out just a bit more. As far as his hearing goes she thought it might be a good idea to do genetic testing to see what caused his hearing loss just in case it's a gene mutation that has other abnormalities and the possibility of Svea has it too.  I told her we'd think about it, check into insurance, and see how his appointment goes in six months.  Other than that I got some questions answered about all of the hoopla that has been going on with Svea for the past three months on and off.  To make a long story short yeast and constipation are not our friends and we wish we lived in a bigger city because when we doctor in our small town we just rack up medical bills and end up driving up to the pediatricians anyway!  arghghg:)
