4 Months Old For Kylee, Not Kaylee

So, Kylee turned 4 months old on the 18th.  Time flies.  She had her 4 month checkup today.  She is doing great.  She is 12lbs 8oz and 24 inches long and she is in the 90th percentile for down syndrome babies and in between the 25th and 50th for babies without down syndrome.  The pediatrician said she looks great and is doing what she is supposed to be doing right now, which is gaining weight for her surgery.  Her pediatrician, Dr. Prakash is great and always is very informative when it comes to her heart issues and everything that we should be doing for her in regards to her down syndrome.  The nurses on the otherhand and most other people we come in to contact with can never ever pronounce her name correctly.  They are forever calling her Kaylee or Keeley, very rarely can anyone be smart enough to pronounce it correctly, which is very irritating.  So, really nothing too exciting at todays visit.  We actually have a very easy week, only 1 drs appt, 3 speech therapy appointments outside the home(actually for 2 of them are for Kate) and 2 therapy visits at home.  Even though it's alot, compared to recently it's actually not.  Now that we have met with all the possible choices for heart surgeons and decided on 1,  we won't have as many appointments.
