4 Month Stats

Yesterday was MG's 4 month check-up. Her pedicatrician was so impressed with her growth. She's gaining weight pretty steadily. For the longest time her head measurement wasn't changing and neither was her height, which concerned us all a little. But in the past 2 months she had a spike in both areas! Yay!

Weight: 14 lbs, 5 oz = 75% percentile (pretty darn good for a preemie!!)

Height: 23 1/2" = 20th percentile

Head Circumference: 16 = 25th percentile

She got a really good check-up overall. She's meeting most of her milestones for her actual age and has met them all for her adjusted age! She's getting so big and sociable. When we got there, the waiting room was packed (thank goodness for the 'well child' waiting room!) with kiddos. She was fascinated with them. She just stared and smiled at them.

Her shots were awful. Our appt. fell during her afternoon naptime. Missing that afternoon nap is a huge no-no! She cried when he was checking her out, then while we were waiting for the nurse to come back with her shots she fell fast asleep! She screamed bloody murder when she got her shots - screamed like I've never heard before! Her face turned blood red and she broke out in a sweat! She continued screaming the whole time we tried to dress her! Then she puked all over us both! What a day! Today she's been extra clingy and fussy. We spent most of the day hanging out in the recliner together. She ran her first fever - 100.5, but Tylenol took that right down! She's asleep now and getting ready for her first day away from me! :-(
