4 Month Check Up

Stella and I just returned from her 4 month check up and she could not be more PERFECT!

So, they make you get the baby naked so they can accurately weigh them and sure enough, Stella dropped a little fun surprise in her diaper right as we were walking into the exam room.  And apparently they have to treat diapers as a "bio hazard" and put them in a special trash can.  It was a way bigger deal than it should have been but oh well!

She weighed in at 14lb 11oz, almost double her birth weight, which put her just above the 50th percentile.  She was 24.25" long which put her right at the 50th percentile and her head circumference was just under the 50th percentile, which doesn't surprise me one bit since I am her mother and I have a teeny tiny head.

She then received her 4 month vaccines and gave a delayed cry of pain but I picked her up and cuddled her when it was done and she calmed down right away. By the time we were walking out of the office, she was smiling for all of the ladies at the front desk.  On the way home, she conked out and got a good little nap.

Overall, it was a great visit.  The doctor said she is a completely healthy baby that is growing right on track.  Our next appointment is set for November 3rd...just after she turns 6 months.
