We had her one month visit today with her doctor. She's gone from a 50% baby to an 80% baby. She's grown 35% in the last four weeks. Amazing. She weighed 9 lbs. 8.5 ounces and was 22.5 inches long. Her head is "smaller" like Reagan's was - not surprising.
I had questions about two things - her head and her breathing pattern. I have noticed in the last few weeks that she likes to look over her right shoulder predominately. I asked and she said it seemed that her neck muscles were tighter on one side and to start doing some simple stretching exercises to work on that - turn her head to the left and touch her ear to her shoulder every diaper change. She did mention that her head was slightly flattened on that side already and that we would watch it. If it's not better by the two month visit, we'd have to do some therapy for her. sigh... no biggie though.
When the doctor was showing us the exercises, she cried the whole time. Now tonight, she seems to only want to look to the left side. Odd.
She said the shallow to deep to non-breathing was normal. Thank goodness. It made me feel better.
No shots this time either. All in all the visit went well. She said she was beautiful and strong. Go Maddy!
