Doctor Visit

I know we haven't posted in a while. Our whole family has been under the weather so it has put me behind in blogging for a couple of days but we are back. The other day I took Zeb and Kayleigh to the doctor. Zeb needed his 4 month shots and Kayleigh needed her 2 year old check up. I know Kayleigh turned 2 in June but better late than never right?! Well, the doctor's visit was quite an adventure. First of all that morning when I opened Kayleigh's door I realized that she threw up in the middle of the night and then slept in it. That was just a wonderful way to start my day. We got to the doctor and I decided to start with Kayleigh since I knew Zeb would be crying after his shots. Kayleigh is very weary of doctors and even got a little scared when he wanted to measure her height! Kayleigh weighs 13.5 kgs which about 29.7 pounds! No wonder I feel like I am going to break my back when I carry her up our stairs. A little fact for those you that don't know that Kayliegh has a rather large head. It is now 51cm. To give you a comparison our doctor's head is 55cm! I know this because he wanted to measure his head against Kayleigh's Yes folks she is two and her head is almost as big has her doctors! Kayleigh's check up went really well and she is very healthy. Before I give you the stats on Zeb I thought I would have you take a look at these pictures below to see if you can guess his weight.

Well, I hope you guessed on the heavier side. He weighs 18 pounds! Yes I am not joking. He is 98% in weight, 88% in head ( which is smaller than his sister at this point in the game) and 88% in height/length. In the doctor's words "it is safe to say he is an all around big guy"! I guess I am destined to have big children. They may be big but they are so cute too!

Zeb and his Virus

As you may or may not know, Zeb is only 3 months old and he came down with a fever three days ago. This made both Alisa and I very concerned, so we decided to take Zeb to a local American doctor here to get his advice on the situation. Since the doctor is limited in what he can do here, because of the limited medical facilities in our city, he had to make best guesses as to what was going on with Zeb. After two full days of running around the city trying to get blood tests and urine samples tested, Zeb's body got better and better. Now he is feeling less hot and his fever is low. We are so thankful to all that have been praying for Zeb and praying for us!

The pictures below are the most recent pictures we took of him today. He is in good spirits and is interacting and smiling at us very well. We think he is feeling better. The doctor now thinks that he has/had a stomach virus that caused his fever.

Checkup

Zeb just got back from the doctor where he received his two month shots. At that time, they also weighed him. His current weight is now 15lbs! We can't figure out where he gets his huge body from!?!? Anyway, his little legs were sore for a couple of days and he didn't feel very good for the next two days. Here is a picture of him in one of his Polo's. He look just like his daddy!
