Kaitlyn's 9 Month Checkup

Kaitlyn had her routine 9 month checkup on Thursday and at first everything seemed to be going very well. Current stats: 19.4 pounds, 26.9 inches length. The dr seemed impressed with her mobility (crawling, standing with support and walking along furniture) and said she seems very healthy and developing at a very good rate. Then he checked her hips/legs. As he rotated her right hip, he looked concerned and told me she has a click in her hip. I had no idea what this meant but apparently it is not dislocated but also not growing properly in the socket, causing a click noise. He instructed me to double diaper her and if that does not solve the problem, he will be referring her to an orthopaedic specialist for evaluation. I have since found out that 20% of cases require surgery to fix! At the very end of the appointment I asked the dr to look into her ears as she was just getting over a cold. Lo and behold, double ear infection. I found this strange since she has been super happy and sleeping through the night but am so glad I asked the dr to take a look.

I also had the opportunity to work on my return to work status at the end of April. I finally spoke to Mr. Oppal about the possibility of my not returning and he was so supportive. He agrees we should stay in Chilliwack if I can find something out this way. After speaking with him, I finalized my application form and resume and dropped it off at the Chilliwack Courthouse - this would be absolutely ideal since it is only a few blocks away.

So that is the update on us. Other than that, I am trying my hand at selling a few items on ebay and one auction is really taking off which is quite interesting (and addictive!) to watch.
