Kasila had been to our pediatrician office 2 times in the 2 past weeks. Once for her croup and the other for her 15 month wellness visit and shots. At her croup visit, it was a different pediatrician, he brought up her breast buds and their size. Our normal doctor had mentioned them before but wasn't concerned. After the two doctors talked, at her wellness visit, we were asked to take her to a specialist, an endocrinologist, to just make sure that everything was normal. She was born with them and as far as we can tell, they haven't increased in size, but they should have gone away. We got an appointment at the subspecialty office in Anchorage and we made a day out of it.
Scott still had class to attend, so Kasila and I walked around campus while we waited. University of Alaska-Anchorage has a few sky bridges/sky walks between buildings so that you don't have to walk outside. Kasila ran, smiled, and waved at everyone she saw. Eventually, she did become tired and a little grumpy. So we headed back to where Scott's class was and waited in the hall for him. Kasila decided to turn her snacks into a tower. There was also a pretty path through the trees that led to the parking lot. Kasila got a lot of exercise that day for her short little legs!
At the doctor's office, Kasila played some of their toys and watched a little of "The Lion King" while we waited. Once in, the nurse said that she was probably the most easy baby she's ever had to get measurements from. She was really curious about the blood pressure cuff.
Overall, the appointment was a breeze. The doctor took some measurements so that we could document any changes to her breast buds and he checked her for signs of premature puberty, which is pretty rare. He feels that she is fine, but just to be sure, she will have a pelvic ultrasound next Friday. The doctor will look at the ultrasound and then call us. If there's nothing in the ultrasound, then we'll see him in 6 months to check her breast buds.
