Jayden had his 9 month check up today.
Weight: 17 pounds, 1.5 ounces (20th percentile)
Height: 27.75 inches (5oth percentile)
Head circumference: 17 inches (70th percentile)
So he's a small guy but that's ok! Everything checked out great except that his heel stick came back positive for anemia so they're sending him for more bloodwork. He will go on iron supplements if that comes back anemic too. Dr. Ball said he suspected this might be the case since I've continued to breastfeed while pregnant and its REALLY hard for my body to provide enough iron for two babies and me. So weaning Jayden, which we are in the process of, will help that as well. He said its no big deal short term but long term it can affect his brain development. So good to get taken care of now. :) But Dr. Ball said he looks "impressive" so that was great.
All in all, he's a healthy happy growing little guy. :)
