Thumbs up from the doc

We took Ansley for her 1 year appointment the other day and it was heartbreaking... for me at least. They had to draw a little blood but Ansley took that really well. In fact, she smiled while the nurse was doing it which was the last thing I was expecting her reaction to be. When she got her shots, however, she was not all smiles. It was hard listening to her cry but once it was over and Daddy held her for a minute...she was all better. She weighs 19 pounds and is almost 30 inches long! The doctor told us that she is pretty long for her age and her weight is a little low for her height but nothing to worry about. We have switched her to milk and are doing away with the bottle so we will see how this all turns out. She already has her 2 bottom teeth in and she is now starting to get 3 teeth on top! She is going to have a mouth full of teeth here shortly. She is not full on walking yet but she is taking 6 to 8 steps at a time so she is getting there. Yesterday, all we did was go back and forth across the room walking. That was a lot of fun for Ansley and a lot of worry and work for me but no biggie. Anyway, just wanted to update everyone on how she is doing and how the doctor appointment went. I also went to the doctor this past week and I am 32 weeks...only 8 weeks left...yikes! I am only measuring at 29 weeks but the doctor said that he might just be a small baby and I have nothing to worry about. She did tell me to prepare for him to come early though since I had Ansley so early. I told Mike the other night that he (Baby Miller) could be here in less than 5 weeks from now...how scary is that? It is defintely a wake up call and I am doing my best to keep him in there as long as I can. Anyway, I go back to the doctor next week and will let you know how that goes. If I am still measuring small, the doctor said she might do an ultrasound so I will keep you updated on that too. Well, I am going to post pictures of Ansley's birthday up next so stay tuned...
