Madelyn Stats

Madelyn had her 4 month check up today. She weighs 12 pounds, 12 ounces and is 25 inches long. Dr. Snead was not super thrilled that she has only gained 1 pound, 4 ounces since her last visit, but she's happy, developing appropriately, peeing, and pooping (all the important things!). I like to follow the "if you didn't have access to a scale, would you be worried about your baby?" school of thought, so I am not at all concerned about this. She got immunizations today, too. That is my least favorite thing about the early well baby check ups! She tolerated it pretty well. I was actually more worried about Julianna seeing the shot process than I was about Madelyn's reaction. I tried to prepare her by telling her that Madelyn was going to have to get some medicine in her leg and that it would probably make her cry. When it was all over, Julianna told me Madelyn would like an orange lollipop to make her feel better. It will be sad day when lollipops and kisses from Mommy stop solving all her troubles.
