Today Stevie weighed 11 lbs 10 oz. You go girl!
23" long
Stevie has had a busy two weeks with doctor's appointments,and we're thrilled to report that each one has been positive! Thank you LORD!
Last week Stevie had her eye exam to check her development. Everything is developing properly and we don't have to see the eye guy (ha ha) again until next year! Thank goodness. Those little mechanisms they use to pry their little eyes open are HORRIBLE!! Stevie was a trooper.
On Tuesday this week Stevie visited the cardiologist again to follow up on the PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) finding after she was born. Per the doctor's report the PDA is resolved and no longer present. Again HUGE PRAISE. She will not need to visit the cardiologist again unless deemed necessary by Dr. Mobley (her pedi).
Today we went for her 4 month shots and checkup. I have been dreading this day all week. There are so many scary reports on vaccines, and varying opinions from people. After a discussion with her doctor this morning I was confident that she would be okay receiving them today (she had 5 vaccines) 1) DTap 2) HIB-IPV 3) Hep B 4) Polio 5) Rotovirus. Stevie went into this appointment on day 7 of no poops! Naturally I was freaked thinking she had a kink in her intestines. The dr again assured me she seemed okay and to try Pedialax..... friends... the Pedialax works.. and works fast! Oh my word - needless to say Stevie is feeling much better now, and just relax from having her shots today. Bless her heart. Overall her appointment went well. She is now on a normal growth chart for her age - she is in the lower part of the chart, but she is on there! Her weight is in the 15th percentile. Head / Length 10th percentile.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Pray for all those people in TX that will be in the way of Ike late tonight and tomorrow.
Love,
Erin

That is FABULOUS news! I can't believe she's already 4 months. She's beautiful. Let's set up a time for lunch/dinner! I would love to see her in person.
Praise God for the Healthy Report card issued to little Stevie, well "big" Stevie now, it's so nice to see some healthy rolls :) I Love it!
I agree with you about the dreaded eye exams. It looks like a horror movie! I took care of Stevie a few nights and am amazed with how wonderful she is doing!! It's so fun to see updates on our babies and how well they are doing!
So very glad she is growing and cuter than ever (of course she was always one of the cutest :0)
Take care,
Emily RN
