This morning we took Abby Lu to the pediatrician for her first doctor's appointment. We chose our doctor back in October after attending a presentation by her practice. They see newborns at 7:45 in the morning to avoid us interacting with older sick kids. We made the appointment and had thought, "Wow, that is early." Ha! We knew better! It was a perfect time.
Dr. Sperling gave her a clean bill of health. No jaundice, no scary weight loss and no problems at all! She answered a couple of questions for us and walked through our next few appointments and their purpose. It was nice- we felt good about our decision to use their practice.Here are her 4 day old stats:
Weight- 7 lbs. 9 ounces (50 percentile)
Height- 20 1/2 inches (75-90 percentile)
This is less than at birth and is likely attributed to her head changing shape after being born. I don't know where the height comes from. I expect to see it drop off as she grows.
Head Circumference- 35 1/2 cm (50-75 percentile)
We'll visit her again in 2 weeks!
