It has always bothered me on a gut level that she is so tiny...so while I am not happy she has to go...I am glad we will be getting a definitive answer. She is in the VERY early stages of puberty (ACK!) as well. At this rate she will not reach five foot...even though we know her birth mo was tiny...the doctor wants her tested. Kids typically tend to be taller than their parents.
It bothers he A LOT as well...so we need to check everything.
She has a birthday less than a month before the cut-off, is very tiny and is also very bright. Our little ones make up for their small size...it seems...with their intelligence!!!
Good luck!

We just saw a ped. endo at Miami Children's. Having another appt. in November - did the xray of the growth plate in her hands/wrist and fortunately she's 6-8 months "younger" in the bones than her chrono. age. But we might be looking at growth hormone in the near future.
