What a Big Girl

Weight
Kylee's 2 1/2 year old check up was on Thursday and she has grown so much. She has gained 6 pounds since March. She is currently 26 pounds and 35 inches long. She went for nothing on the growth chart to 20% for weight and I think 25% for height. We were so excited. That is huge for a 1P36 child. This has however made me worry about what is down the road for her. Typically 1P36 children are either extremely under weight or extremely over weight. I am just worried it will go to the extremely over weight. I know no pleasing me. If I'm not worried about one thing it is another. She also had double ear infection at the time of the visit so we are yet again trying another ear drop. We just don't want to give an antibiotic. She also had a slow leak in her GJ tube so we had to take her in to get that replaced. So all and all a great 2 1/2 year old check up.

Car Seat
Well today was the meeting at the Cerebral Palsy (CP) center for Kylee's car seat and they called and said that they approved us and that they are paying for it in full. We were so excited. They said an anonymous donor is paying for all of it and that HE loves getting thank you's from families so we are going to take a picture of her in it and send it to the CP center to give to him. We are so grateful to him. We will be getting it on July 21st and I hear it is rather large and some call it a "lazy boy" because it is so comfortable. It will fit her to 105 pounds and is a Britax Traveller. Only negative is it only comes in brown so no pink for the princess :)
Surgery
Kylee is all scheduled to have her surgery to remove her port next week. We are going down on Wednesday and then the surgery will be done on Thursday. I am a little on the nervous side about it but I know it needs to be done. She is not being put so far under that she will need breathing tubes so that makes me feel a little better. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers on Thursday July 9th.

We will be thinking about you on Wednesday- I hope all goes well. It must be a comfort to know Kylee won't need the breathing tube.
We have a Britax car seat now too (we went with the Boulevard)- Zoe likes it. It is quite a bit bigger than her old infant seat and we call it her lazy boy since it looks like one. It is great because she can stay rear facing for a bit longer until her trunk muscles get stronger. And we too were disappointed with the lame colour choices!
Happy 4th of July.

You do a wonderful job updating
Kylee's blog, I enjoy reading it.
And Yes...Jason is a very good Daddy, he too, deserves a lot of credit.
