So, we qualify for WIC again! I went this afternoon and signed us up. Part of the enrollment process is a hemoglobin test. To do this they prick your finger and draw about 3 drops of blood. The woman (being VERY smart!!!!) did Hannah first, and let me tell you---it was a good thing. Hannah started screaming and wouldn't calm down!!! All I could think of was "Boy, was the receptionist at her pediatrics right when she told me to come with help" for Hannah's 4 year apt. Apparently they give your child 4 shots among other kinds of tests when they turn 4. If Hannah freaked out over a 2 second prick of the finger...what on earth is she going to do with 4 shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am definitely NOT looking forward to the 4yr apt:(
But back to the WIC apt, Hannah weighs 34lbs and is in the 5th percentile for weight!!!! I had to confirm that she was a good eater and that there wasn't anything wrong with her. Apparently they are not to cool with children in the 5th percentile!!!
Calvin on the other hand weighed in at 15.8lbs. Which I find hard to believe b/c i just took him last Wed for his 2 mo and he was only 14.1lbs. He did have his clothes on today though...but still a onesie doesn't weigh that much! She said that it is very possible that he had gained a whole pound since last week! At this rate, he is going to weigh the same as Hannah by the time he is 1 1/2 years old!!
