Olivia's 2 year appointments

Today was a very long day of doctor's appointments for Olivia with no naps. First we had her ultrasound and she was not too happy about that, but we got her calmed down and then she did great. Shortly after we went over to meet with her Pediatric Urologist who was up from Minneapolis for the day. He reviewed her u/s images and said everything looked absolutely wonderful. We kind of figured things have been going good since Olivia has had no repeat infections since her surgery 1 year ago (seems like a lifetime ago). The doctor said since the surgery has a success rate of 98% and since she hasn't had an infections, we can assume her reflux is either gone or very minimal. He mentioned that he would like to see her again in 1-2 years once she is fully potty trained since some kids have flare ups again at that stage. We are very relieved to know everything is good with Olivia's kidneys and bladder and can hardly believe all the stuff we went through with her just over a year ago.

Once that appointment was over we ran some errands and then headed back to see Dr. Manney for Olivia's 2 year checkup. We were very surprised at how Olivia interacted with all the doctor's today. Usually she is crying from the minute she enters the building, but today, for the first time she interacted and talked with both doctors. It's good to see that perhaps she has put all her old doctor/hospital memories behind her.

Her 2 year stats were as follows:

• Height: 35 3/4" (92%)
• Weight: 27 lb. 10 oz. (63%)
• Head: 19 1/2" (93%)

She had a pretty big growth spurt since her 18 month appointment. She was only 52% for height at that time and weight was 34%.

In looking back at Jack's stats from when he was 2 - he was only 34 1/4" tall and 46% for a boy. This is going along with our theory that Olivia will have Steve's height and Jack will have mine.
