The results are in
We had blood work done on Julia on Tuesday evening at children's hospital and it all came back ok. Obviously we are so relieved. I never really expected it to be anything but the emotional rollar coaster was enough for me. There's nothing like the stress that comes with anything relating to your childs health.
We still have a head ultrasound to do, but I don't even really know what they'll be looking for. I so hope she won't be restrained. Having her blood drawn was enough for me. I don't really know where we'll go from here, maybe the doctor will just say that she is fine to be in the 5th percentile for weight. (her heighth is the 50th percentile so she is getting taller)
I'm so glad today is friday, it has been an incredibly hectic week. I let Lizzie watch extra tv today. She got to see a video of Blues Clues and everytime Steve asked for her help I would hear her say, "No, I not want to help you". I was in the office trying to get some freelance done. I hate to turn down any work but I secretly hope that nothing comes up before Christmas because I have so many projects going.
On a potty note: Lizzie has been doing awesome!! Initiating everytime today and yesterday I was in the living room and I heard her yell "Mommy I'm pooping," it was right before nap and I was thinking- don't kill her! I came down the hall and she was actually in the bathroom on the potty! It was so exciting!! That was the first time she had gotten on the potty by herself. She did that twice yesterday. I am so excited about this development.
Yesterday we had Hannah and Christopher here, I'm thinking that was the potty influence. They can come anytime if they are going to influence her like that!
Also, for those who gave suggetions for my 40 something entry- I ordered the moon pies last night. Great idea, I've already received emails from people reporting on my aunt and uncles response to getting 40 of something for a week now. It's pretty funny. Wanted to do the 40 ounce beer but that idea was taken.

When Zachary was four he was fifth percentile for weight and fiftieth for height and the pediatrician said, "He looks great!" Maybe it's different for a preschooler or maybe you should find a little, skinny doctor like the one that checked out Z!

Oh well, that would've been fun. I'm glad the bloodwork for Julia came back OK--it's good to know that's not a problem.
