So it's offical now....

... Benjamin is indeed medically short, which is better than just "his mother thinks he's short, short"...? Anyway, he's now below the 5%, so that means it's time to get checked out. One would think that we loooooved going to Portsmouth Hospital, but we really do not. We're not sure who we're seeing this time as the cause for this could be numerous. We went in for his school physical last week and they charted his height and looked at me as if I were in the wrong for not mentioning it earlier. Sheesh, I have been mentioning it. Haven't they read my blog and/or facebook posts? I mean who do these doctors think they are dealing with? heh...

So we have to go back in to see his regular pediatrian who will then send us to Portsmouth. I know, I know, walk here to run there and sit for thirty minutes. Now get up and spin. Now squat. Now jump like a frog. This is the military referral system, folks. It's free, but painful sometimes.

I do however have full confidence in the specialists there. All of the doctors we have dealt with in the past have been wonderful. Let's hope for the same experience in figuring out what the deal is with my little shorty.
