18 Month Baby Check-up

This will be my first entry post here.  It is now the 2nd day of December which means there is 23 days left until Christmas comes.  Anyway, today was my daughter's 18 month baby check-up at the Everett Clinic.  As usual, once we entered the room where the nurse had us wait, Isabella started crying!  She cried even more when the nurse had me take off her clothes so she could get weight and measured.  She is so strong that me and my mom had to hold her down just to get the correct measurements. She got more difficult when the doctor had to check on her and then started crying again when she had to get her second Hepatitis B shot.  Thank God she wont be needing to get anymore immunization shots until she reaches 4yrs old!  I don't even want to think that far because I'd like to enjoy everyday how she is now.  So her doctor was happy to see that her growth percentile of what a 18 month toddler is doing is just fine.  The only concern we still have of her is that she is still constipated but its not as bad as it was before.  A few times she was hurting that she bled!  Gosh, its hurts to see her be like that and you can't really do anything but to comfort her and massage her belly.  Therefore, the doctor prescribed her some medicine to help soften her stool because it isn't good for her to be constipated still.
