Clean Bill of Health















River had her first Dr.'s appointment today for her Well Baby check up and to get her first battery of vaccines. Like I said, we aren't "that kind of crazy!"


Though, technically speaking, she still hasn't seen a Dr. yet (he was a CFNP), I believe his exact words were, "She's the picture of health."


He was really nice. He checked all the normal things: lungs, ears, eyes, neck, back, soft spots, etc.... answered all of our questions and gave us a prescription for baby heart burn medication. Our bad! Sorry for the acid reflux.


He said that she would probably keep her blue eyes (yay!) and that we did her no disservice by not bringing her in earlier. Apparently breast fed babies are stronger in a lot of areas. She got 3 shots and one oral. She didn't like that at all! But overall, we did very well.


I feel like maybe we are those "competitive" parents who will be proud of their daughter for the silliest things...like being huge! :D
  • 24 inches long, which puts her in the 95th percentile for height
  • 13 lbs. exactly, which puts her somewhere around the 85th percentile
  • 15.5 in. head circumference, which puts her in the 90th percentile
We figure we'll make the best of her height and persuade her toward volleyball, soccer and basketball...and flat shoes ;).
