Today Natalie had her 2.5 year check up with her Pediatrician.  The nurse gave me a look like I was crazy when I explained that this is what we were there for.  I then had to explain that Dr H likes to see Natalie more often since she was a preemie and has developmental delays.   Dr H gave her a good report.  She looks healthy (and she is – the last time she was there was for her 2 year check up) and is growing well.  Natalie weighs 25 lbs and is 35 inches long meaning she has gained 3.5 lbs and 1 inch in 6 mos – WOW! 

In other news, we started with a new Occupational Therapist last week.  This is the first time we have to go to the therapist instead of the therapist coming to our house but I think it will be worth it because in a clinic setting Natalie will have access to more equipment and experiences than she would at home.  We will miss Natalie’s former OT, Jen, so much but we know that we will still see her from time to time as she became a friend in addition to therapist over the past 2 years!  Thanks for everything Jen!
