Today you had your 4 month well-baby visit with your pediatrician. You did really well when all your stats were being taken. Here is the run down:
Weight: 16.8lbs (77%) [2 months - 12.9lbs; 75%]
Height: 24.5 inches (27%) [2 months - 23.5 inches; 75%]
Head Cir.: 42.75cm (60%) [2 months - 41cm; 75%]
We are not yet concerned about any of your measurements because babies often grow out before they grow up. However, your current imbalance does create a clothing predicament because you need 6 months size clothing for your little bum and shoulders but your cute little legs and arms are too short!
Your next visit is in July so we shall see how you measure up then!
Today you were also scheduled for 2 shots and the roto-virus drink. However, they were out of the combination shot which meant that you had to get 4 shots (2 in each thigh) and the drink. The office took a long time getting your shots together so between visiting with the Doc and the shots you had nursed and fallen asleep. We had to wake you up which is something we NEVER do. You did well during your shots (or as well as can be expected) and you nursed right after which did help you.
But, today you have been a bit 'off' and both your Daddy and I believe its due to the fact that we had to wake you up. When you sleep we have learned that it means you really need sleep (you crash hard) and we do everything in our power to not wake you up (you had even missed playdates because I won't wake you up).
You fell asleep tonight at 7:30pm and it is my hope that you sleep long and hard tonight to give your body the best chance at making up for what you missed today and help you recover from the stress of inoculations!
Thankfully at your 6 month visit you don't get any shots (so we were told).
xoxo
Mom
