June's stats on November 9th
weight: 11lbs. 6oz. (in the 75 percentile)
length: 23.75 inches (off the charts!!)
head circumference: 15inches (right on track, 50 percentile I'm guessing?)
This appointment was a little sad since she had to receive her first round of immunizations. She had three shots and one oral immunization. June actually did much better than I expected with the shots. She let out one long yell and was done with that. At her appointment, the doctor felt that we should have an ultrasound done on June's hips. She has three of the major factors associated with hip dysplasia; she is female, she is the first born, and she was breech. So on November 14th I took June to Children's South for her ultrasound. June did great, but was a little unhappy with them taking off her diaper and prodding her with the ultrasound wand. Later that week, I talked with the nurse who told us that the doctor wanted June to go back in for another ultrasound in four weeks. So June will have her second ultrasound on December 13th. We are hoping that the doctor is just being overly cautious. If they do find that June has hip dysplasia, she will be fitted for a brace. Thankfully the treatment is much easier and full recovery is more likely when they diagnose it this young.
June has spent the last couple of weeks smiling, finding her hands, learning to grab her rattle, and testing out her newly found voice. Jeff and I are loving this part of parenting. Hearing that first giggle is when it all pays off. Here are a few videos from the past couple weeks. Sorry if its bad quality. They were taken with my phone. Also, I just recently realized that I have been taking pictures and videos with my camera sideways so I apologize for them not being upright.
