At 10 lbs, 4 oz., 22.5" long, with a head circumference of 39 cm, Campbell is exactly at the 50th percentile for all three measurements. The doc was very pleased to see that she'd moved from the 25th percentile in weight (as were we!).
She took her shots like a champ - cried as she got them, was just fine on the way home, got a little fussy in the evening, but was calmed right down when I laid her on my chest and let her sleep there, and when she woke up again for her bath and bedtime, she was right as rain. Here's hoping that stays true when she wakes up for her middle of the night feeding - she didn't sleep through the night last night, and I'm kind of hoping she doesn't tonight, b/c I'll feel better after her shots if I know she's OK...
One thing that did come up at the visit - we've kind of noticed the back right side of her head looks a little flatter than the rest. The doc agreed, and even pointed out b/c of the misshapen back, her forehead is actually starting to misshape as well - the distance from her hairline to eyebrow is greater one side than the other. He tried to turn her head from side to side and said because she favors turning her head one direction so much that the muscle on the other side has actually tightened, a condition know as torticollis. He referred us to a physical therapist, who will give us exercises to help loosen the muscle. We're also supposed to turn her head whenever she's asleep so she's facing left, and to position her swing, bouncy seat, etc. so she always has to turn left to look at us. Hopefully that will help fix the problem and prevent any facial asymmetry.
Mom and Dad are coming down tomorrow to watch her for the weekend so G and I can celebrate on anniversary. I'll miss baby girl, but I'm also looking forward to a weekend alone with my hubby. :)
