4 Month Check Up

Curly Q posing without her oxygen!

Curly Q had her 4 month check up today. Even though, she's about a week and a half away from being 5 months old. (Her immunization schedule got a little off in the NICU). She is putting on weight nicely. Her Doc is impressed. She weighs an even 12 pounds which is in the 10%! Yay, she went from less than 5% (2 months ago) up to the 10%. She is 23 3/4 inches long which is 10.25%. Two months ago, she was in the less than 3% for height. And her head size is still in 5%. Overall, she is looking great.

We completed an overnight study to test her oxygen saturation a couple nights ago. We were hoping that she could come off of oxygen. After the Doc consulted with a Neonatologist, they determined that she needed to stay on oxygen for another month, then we'll test it again. So, not the results we were hoping for, but that's okay.

She had to get her immunizations, which are sad. She was a brave baby girl though. After screaming really hard for a minute, she fell asleep practically as soon as I picked her up. She's been sleeping all day. Poor girl.
