Braiden's 18 month check up

We had our 18 month check up yesterday. A very boring appt over all. No shots we will rap those up at his 24 month appt. He weighs 24 lbs and he is 32 inches long. He is hitting all his age milestones so no problem there. We did check his iron levels. I just got the call that they are lower than in Dec. Urrgggg! So we go back on iron twice a day and a diet high in iron and vit C. We will give this 3 weeks and then recheck. If things are still low I am going to ask for a second opinion regarding this. Patrick has had low iron since his surgery and probably before then. Even with supplements his is always low. Some genetic component is there and we need to know what it is. So if you will keep Lil B in your prayers. Low iron can make you feel bad. If you have ever been anemic you understand.

Yes he is in Christmas PJ's, they were clean and we wore them!

Ugh. I have been anemic before and yes, I know that it is really not a whole bunch of fun! I hope his iron levels increase soon and he feels better. :)
