Katy's First Peditrician Visit

Katy had her first appointment today! At birth she was 8lbs 6oz and today she was 8lbs 5.4oz. She was 20 1/2 inches long at birth and today she was 21 3/4 inches long. Her head circumference was 13 1/2 inches at birth and today it was 13 3/4 inches!! So she's already growing!! And she hasn't lost hardly any weight!!

She got her Hepatitis B shot and they did the newborn screening (foot prick). She also had her hearing test done. She passed her right ear, but she kept failing her left ear. It's probably just because that ear had wax in it or some excess fluid from birth. So we are so not concerned about her hearing. But we will go back on Thursday to recheck it. If it still fails then we'll be referred to the ear doctor for a hearing test. Dr. Humphrey said it's very common and that is why we are not concerned.

She looked very healthy overall. But boy, she hated to be messed with!! Justin and I both think she cried more today than she did at birth haha!!

We are so very proud of our healthy baby girls!! We are so blessed and so thankful!!

~Blessings~

Kent had the same problem with his ear at the hospital and the doctors office. We had to take him to the specialist and there wasn't anything wrong. Just hard to tell sometimes when they are so young.
