Yesterday Kate had her one month doctor's appointment (she's actually 5 weeks though). The nurse checked us in here are her stats:
Weight: 9 lb, 10 oz (55 percentile)
Height: 21.75 in (67 percentile)
Head: 38 cm (68 percentile)
I knew she was gaining weight, but I didn't think she'd be almost 10 pounds! Wow, girl, you are certainly growing! Good job!
Dr. Pott checked her out and said everything looked great.
After all of that, they gave her a Hepatitis B shot. It was the worst moment of parenthood thus far. I had to hold her little baby hands while they stuck a (rather sizable) needle into Kate's thigh. She instantly turned beat red and screamed! I picked her up as soon as they would let me and calmed her down, but mad was that hard. I don't like to see her cry anyway, but to know it was coming was a bad feeling. Next month, she gets a bunch of shots and I'm REALLY not looking forward to that.
