I've sent this to many of your phones...but it's so cute, I needed it to be public!
Yesterday, Ainsley had her 4-month doctor appointment.
She now weighs 12 lbs. 13 1/2 oz. She's 24" long (officially), but when the girl used the measuring tape she started from the end of the tape instead of the 0, so I think she's really about 25" long. :D
Dr. Hoffman says that Ainsley's progressing fine. She REALLY wants to roll over. Sean said he's been working with her on it. I told him that if I miss the first roll over while I'm at work, I'll be distraught, so he's got the camcorder out when he does it just in case.
We've been given the ok to start Ainsley on rice cereal. So, after the appointment, Ainsley and I went to Target and picked some up. She's had a few bottles since yesterday, and there doesn't seem to be much change. I had hoped that a rice cereal bottle before bed would stop her 6:30 am wakings--the one that she doesn't really wake up for, but just eats 2 oz. then goes back to sleep. Not so much.
When the doctor checked out Ainsley's bump (the one on her head), she said she wasn't too sure that it's not just a mole that's been irritated because she lays on it. But she wants me to take Ainsley to a dermatologist to be sure.
I also had the doctor look at Ainsley's eye. She has this weird pupil thing that's only noticeable when it's dark and her pupils are really dilated. Her pupil itself isn't perfectly round, and the iris kinds bleeds into the pupil. Dr. Hoffman could only barely see it (because of the light and whatnot), so she suggested I take Ms. A to an optometrist to be sure.
I think she's recognized that I need to hear doctors say everything's ok. But I figure what the heck, it's what I have insurance for, right?
