Today Hailey had her 4 month checkup. Her current stats: 10lbs, 10oz - 22 1/4 inches long - head is 39 centimeters. She is in the 5th percentile for her weight and head, but not on the growth chart for her height ...They also checked her red blood cell count to make sure she was doing well and not anemic. That was great! They also decided we could stop fortifying her feeds now, and they increased her meds just a little. Overall the doc said she is a healthy baby just born a little to early :) I also talked to him about her bowel movements because they are still sporadic, but he said he isn't worried because some babies just go longer between bowel movements. Also at Johns Hopkins they had said she might favor her right side just a little which should be watched, but he didn't see it and says she seems just fine. Well, for those of you who still check this, sorry I go so long between posts and thanks for looking! We are now into cold and flu season and trying hard to keep her healthy. The bad news is her dad is sick! Pray we can keep her well!
