Sliding at Pump It Up




Kissing Baby Sarah




Sarah Elizabeth Tse 29 weeks







This week Hannah had her two year old check up. She weighs 24 lbs and is 33 5/8 inches tall. She was a very good girl for every part of her check up. She did not approve of the cerumen removal (translation: taking out her excessive ear wax) and I can't say I blame her. She did have a red eardrum which explains her grumpiness and waking up screaming at night lately. (We were attributing it to being two and getting some molars--oops!) Otherwise, she is doing great. She exhibited her magpie behavior by repeating several of her big brother's phrases while we were there. Amazing how when the spotlight wasn't on Nathan he was full of information for the nurse practitioner. At his own check up, he barely spoke. They both cried as they got their flu shots, but were rewarded with popsicles and Swiper and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle tattoos so the tears didn't last long. Over all, a very nice visit.

Today we were blessed with another great check up. Baby Sarah had to be checked out again because on her first ultrasound her kidneys were a little larger than they should have been. Today they were perfect. Everything looks great, although she is measuring at almost 31 weeks rather than the 29 weeks she is supposed to be. I was warned that at the rate she is growing we could expect an 8 or 9 pound baby. Yikes! Maybe she'll come a little early so that she won't add on those two extra pounds. Because she is a Tse baby we were not surprised when we were told her head measurement is in the 95th percentile. Another yikes!

We are so thankful and blessed to have three healthy, happy children. Praise God!
