Mobile Bumpers: This is why I hate not being there for well check appointments

I couldn't take time off today, so DH took DD2 to her 18-month appointment.

He was sweet and wrote down he measurements and emailed them to me. I just checked and she really went down in percentiles.

Length-wise, she was at 90, and now is barely above 50.

Weight wise, she was at 75 and now is also barely above 50.

I know this could be nothing, but I wish I had been there just to see what my Dr thinks. Oh well.

    It might not mean anything. Their growth isn't as rapid now that they are getting older. They eat differently and are much more active. I don't think you should worry, but if you must, I'd give a call to the pedi.

    I'm sure she's fine - I just wish I'd been able to ask the Dr and hear it from her mouth - I would feel silly calling in just for that. I'll probably mention it at MY next appointment though, as we have the same Dr.

    I'm sure DD2 is fine :).  My DD's height is maintaining, but her weight was waaaay down since the last checkup.  DH was super concerned (I was a little, too), but our pedi said that the weight gain can really slow up after the 1 year mark.  Also, with all the illness going around, I know her eating has been off from her usual intake, so that's something to take into account. 

    I totally get how you feel about not being at the appointment, though.  DH and I can sometimes take totally opposite perspectives about things our pedi says.  Things that I brush off as NBD are sometimes a big deal to him, and vice versa.  So if he were to come home and tell me everything is ok, I would still feel like I missed some critical information, even though I trust him entirely!
