The big weigh in.....

No I don't mean mine or Jeff's - who really wants to know those numbers anyway!? Abbey had her 4 month checkup (yes I know she's 5 1/2 months, but we're behind because of summer vacations).

Stats:
Height 26" - 50-75%
Weight 14 lbs 1/2 oz - 25%
Head circumference: 17" - 75% This is actually a concern as she started in the 5% range and has jumped over 5 1/2 months to the 75% range. Our doctor is having us go get an ultrasound of her head - the concern being there may be extra fluid. She would rather catch it early by ultrasound than later and have to use a ct-scan with radiation exposure. I'm sure Abbey is fine, but a little nervewracking to think there could be something wrong that I can't see. Not sure what they would do if there was extra fluid - we'll see how it goes.

She's growing well and a happy baby. She wakes up in the morning and will lay there for a long time hitting her feet on the mattress and coo-ing until someone comes to pay attention to her.

She's so cute! Your kids are growing up. Thanks for the invite to your blog! I know what you mean about the ultrasound and stuff. Emily had to have a cardiogram or something when she was just a year old because the dr heard a heart murmur. Everything was fine, but I was hyperventilating the whole time. It's so scary when you are thinking of the possibilities of something wrong with your baby!
