Today Penny had her two year check up. She weighs 25.6 lbs, is 35 inches tall and has a head cm of 19 inches. Doc says she is on track with her other check ups in terms of % of changes. He told us to switch from 2% milk to 1% or day free. He is pro fish and wants us to eat fish twice a week. Stay away from peanuts and hard candy aka anything a running toddler can choke on. He said to we need to take vitamins and probiotics. But the biggest thing was get rid of the binkies!!! He was looking at her teeth and he could tell she used them cuz he said it was messing with her teeth in her mouth. So today begins a new world. A world without zip it.com's :(
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
