Baby Bee is growing! (PIP)

MrsBlayne · December 2009

I had my monthly appointment today... I am excited and relieved to report that everything is looking good and she is growing! Last appointment, she weighed about 3/4 of a pound and was measuring in the 7th percentile. This appointment, she weighs 1lb 6oz and measured in the 10th percentile. My doctor said that growth restriction is if she was less than the 10th percentile, so we are in the clear. In addition, she said that when you see sick babies who are not getting enough blood flow, they have big heads and long legs with little bellies. She said she is not seeing that with Briley, she is proportional. So, I can breathe a huge sigh of relief that she is just small, but she is still growing. She said that she would still send us to a neonatologist if we want, but I turned her down because I don't think it is necessary. She is still going to continue to watch her closely, with monthly ultrasounds, and she is having me come back in two weeks. Twice monthly appointments already! I can't believe it! Next time I get to do the wonderful glucose test. Thanks to everyone for all the growing baby vibes!
