Jenna's 4-Year Checkup

Jenna had her 4-year well check yesterday. She is growing well, and staying right around her perfectly average growth percentiles. 
Weight: 35 lbs, 5 oz (53%)
Height: 39.5 inches (47%)
BMI: 65%

Compared to her big brothers at this age, she is 4 pounds heavier and a couple inches taller than Ryan was, and 2 pounds less and the same height as Lucas. 

My only concerns that I discussed with her doctor were her skin. First, Jenna has something called molluscum contagiosum that causes small raised pink bumps on her skin. It is a harmless viral rash that can continue for up to a few years.

Second, Jenna has a group of blood vessels on her left cheek that formed a couple years ago. It is always there, although it can look lighter or darker depending on her skin/time of day. I forget what the doctor called it, but basically he said it is harmless but may not go away or completely fade.

Third, Jenna has eczema pretty badly behind her knees and on her sides under her armpits. We have tried some different moisturizers but they make her cry from the burning. So I have a new list of lotions to try, along with hydrocortisone. My poor girl has such sensitive skin!
Finally, I mentioned to the doctor that Jenna's skin always seems incredibly pale. I was pretty sure that it is just her natural coloring, because it's not like Adam or I are exactly tan...….but still. A mom always worries, right? The doctor said the only possible cause would be anemia, so we went ahead and did a quick blood draw to check her iron levels. The results came back and look fine to me, so I'm thinking Jenna has just been blessed with very very pale skin!

Finally, Jenna got some booster vaccines.
Poor girl was so tired she took a late afternoon nap and then slept in an extra hour this morning. Being poked and prodded at the doctor can wear you out!

  1. FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
    I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life
    became meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, the
    symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family
    run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave
    up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the
    doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but
    they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making
    it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I
    came across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhota
    cured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thought
    it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details
    provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me
    his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two
    weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms
    disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was
    NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR
    Ebhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on
    telling the world about you. If you are going through same
    situation worry no more and contact DR Ebhota via
    drebhotasolution@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.

When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children.
