We have switched doctors recently, so we all had to have check-ups at the new clinic. Colin went a few weeks ago and the rest of us went today. Poor Will...I failed to mention that he would be having blood work and a tetanus shot...oops. I had the same thing done too. Blah.
At 10 months, Meli is 28 inches and weighs 18 lbs 13 oz.
Another reason we had Meli checked out was because of her belly button. We noticed a while back that her belly button looked a little funny. It is an outie but it also had a bluish look to it and would get hard when she cried. Then more recently we noticed that it was getting bigger and the area around the belly button was becoming swollen. So baby girl has a hernia. Normally, this could go away on its own in time...but since Mae's has gotten worst lately and is relatively big, we are going to a pediatric surgeon to see if she would need it removed now or if it can wait until she is around 4. We are hoping there is still the possibility that it can go away on its own, but I was not getting that impression from the doctor. She was talking like there was that chance before looking at it and then that option seemed to slip away. Still hoping though. Right now it does not seem to cause her any pain, which is good. I just hate the idea of our baby girl having surgery. Poor Meli...

Poor Meli! I am so glad it's not hurting her. I know surgery is scary, though. She is so tiny! Aubree is 25 lbs! She is a big chunk though:) I will be praying for Meli but I am sure it will be fine.
