So, after the Dr. was done checking Sophie over, I peeked at her chart before bringing it to the front desk, and saw her diagnosis's checked off. Why is it always so hard to read it, even when you know there is something going on? BUT I'm glad I read it and looked it up it b/c I have a better understanding
Anyway, he checked off a few things on the list: Dyspraxia Syndrome, aka Coordination Disorder, and Hypotonicity along with general Delayed Development.
As if that wasn't enough, he referred us to a nutritionist so we can "learn portion control" since she's short and her weight is overbearing her height, and he feels the weight might be holding her motor skills back. She's 28 lbs and 32". Not terrible! I'm gonna run this past her reg. Pedi. at her check-up in a few weeks and see what they think. DH is so upset/annoyed b/c everytime she goes to a Dr. for a follow-up shes always getting a referral for something else. Thanks for reading!
Re: Dev. Pedi. follow-up today...not a great visit...
Well it does not change the fact that she is adorable.
Hang in there, mama.

TTC #3 - 4 cycles - no BFP yet!
Have you ruled out genetic causes? My son has Prader-Willi syndrome and a lot of kids get diagnosed around your DD's age when their weight surpasses their height.

She saw a genentisist and he said her height was just familial b/c DH & I and both sides of our families are short. He said if the height was still a problem to come back in 4-5 months, but he wasn't concerned. Plus she has grown about 4" since she last saw him, and at the time we saw him she wasstuck at the same height for months so she did grow. I'm going to talk about all that again with her Pedi. at her check-up in a few weeks.
Yeah, my point was more about her weight than her height. I personally would just check.
