3w6d- ONE MONTH PEDIATRICIAN VISIT

The pediatrician feels Nevaeh is healthy and growing well.  He did detect a slight heart murmur but doesn't seemed concerned....especially since she was 3 weeks early.  It should correct itself over time.  She weighed in at 8lbs. 11oz. and is 19 1/2 inches long.  Her head circumference is 36cm or 14.7 inches which is in the 25%.  Her weight is in the 25%.  Her length is only in the 10%.  He said she is on the short side, but then he looked at Courtney and realized why she is measuring short!  In looking back at the baby books and keeping in mind that Nevaeh was actually 3 weeks early, she seems to be measuring longer than Mommy did at this age.  Nevaeh is more inline with her Aunt Caitlin who is 5'1" while Mommy is only 4'10".  If she continues to measure on the short side....at least there is growth hormone therapy that she can have in the future that was never suggested for either of my girls......probably because the research was too new at the time.  Time will tell.  We love her just the same....short or tall!

 Sleepy babes!
