McKenzie went to her first doctor's appointment last Tuesday and it was a success! First of all, we were on time. Considering it has been hard to even take a shower these days, it was quite a feat for my mom and me both to arrive at the appointment on time, clean and with a happy baby. After being weighed, measured and checked out by the doc we got great news... she had surpassed her birth weight by 3 ounces! Apparently this is a great thing, as the doctor said only about 5% of her patients surpass their birth weight in a week's time. It shows that she's doing great and growing strong. We are so proud!! First Appointment (7/7/09)
Weight: 7lbs, 7oz - 37th percentile
Head Circumfrence: 13.5in - 21st percentile
Length: 20in - 51st percentile*
*She measured 21.25in at birth so since we're pretty sure she didn't shrink, there's obviously a difference in measuring methods. For the time, her length is debatable. As you can see below, the appointment just wore her out!
