2 Year Appointment & Cough

Anna has been coughing at night for a little over a week now so I thought we'd pop in to see her pediatrician while we were waiting around for my OB stuff today. I really like her new doctor; I'm not sure where she is from but she spoke with no accent so either is from the US or has spent a lot of time there.

Anna was absolutely amazing through the entire two hours we were at the hospital! It may have helped that we were moved around a lot so we weren't sitting in the same spot those two hours, but, really, I think she went above and beyond the call of duty for a two year old. She read her books and played with her toys quietly and then was understanding when I needed to talk to the doctor and couldn't interact with her. But, the biggest surprise of all was that she let the nurses check her out and the doctor poke around without a fuss. She did scream and cry when she got her shot but was quickly over it when I reminded her that I had a shot, too (I had blood drawn but felt like it was similar enough that I didn't need to draw that distinction today).

They weighed her and measured and I asked if it would be all written down for me so I didn't bother to remember the numbers and then they didn't write it down! We go back on Saturday for a follow-up appointment so I'll get the numbers then. I do remember she is in the 25th percentile for height & weight and 75th percentile for head circumference.
