Charlie had to visit doctors all morning, and they really put him through his paces!! The first appointment was a NICU followup with the physical therapists from the hospital to make sure he is developing properly. He did super great! All his frustrating tummy time is helping his muscles to develop exactly the way they are supposed to, and the doctor was impressed with his strength and the control of his head. We have to go back in March and we have homework to do in the meantime to help him get stronger. (mostly games and toys... so it won't be difficult!)
Silly vaccinations. :( He weighed in at a hefty 9lbs 10oz and was 22in long! He is in the 10th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. So he's basically normal I guess. Dr.King couldn't find any traces of the heart murmur that was left over from his troubles when he was born- so that's good news!! Yay Charlie! He had three shots in his little legs, and one oral vaccination too. Poor little guy. He wiggled so much during the last shot that he got blood on his shirt. I guess he takes after his mommy when it comes to shots. I forsee alot of coaxing into going to the doctor in the coming years. Oh well. You do what you gotta do, right?
