My 32 weeker is 9 months today...

My sweet girl is 9 months old today and I can't believe how fast she's growing up. I love her more with every day and truly feel blessed. Today I took her to the 9 month well baby visit and I always get so nervous......just still worried I guess.....a 30-day stay in the NICU does that to you I think. Anyway, she weighed in at 16 pounds, 6 ounces and was 26" in length > 7 percentile on both. She's truly perfect and yet I still worry....I thought she'd be bigger than those stats. Ugh.  Do these feelings ever end? Please tell me they do.....please.

  • They do get better!  I had a 32 weeker and really worried about weight a lot up until he was about 12 months and then it subsided.  Your DD is at a great weight for her age - I'm sure the doctor told you that!

  • Those sound like good numbers to me!  DD had her 9 month check-up today and she weighs 16 lbs. 4 oz.  and is 27 1/4 inches long.

  • Good job mama! I can't tell you if the feelings end because I'm still struggling myself....but those seems like good numbers to me.
