Gianna was a hit at the Doctor's office today. All the nurses kept talking about my pretty and beautiful baby. And they are right!
She weighs 11 lbs and 10 oz, 23 1/2 inches and her head is 40.6 cm
She is 25 % for height and weight and 40% for her head!
She was having a big head day for sure. All of this is not adjusting for her 6 weeks difference in gestational age. She would still have a big head when adjusted.
He said she might be petite, she might have an innie belly button and she might have eczema. He said she would probably still be eating every two hours for the next 6 weeks. And that she probably isn't ready for solids (I'm not either!). He also said I need to eat more protein and it's OK for her to be a bit behind- she's not rolling over yet. And finally he said -welcome to germs, after I told him that Gianna got a cold from the church nursery, but that it helps build up her immune system.
2 months to see him again and 4 more shots then too.

She is a beautiful baby. We need more pictures Kiki!!!
I think eczema is a family trait.
So why do they measure heads in cm and the rest in real measurments?
I don't know why the cm on heads. Does anyone else know?
The first time I heard it (week 1) I thought it was in inches and I was VERY shocked!!! But I must have had a funny look on my face because she said quickly- it's in centimeters.

Probably cm because the world uses that measure...except the USA.
Maybe next time her height and weight will have caught up with her head size. Otherwise she might be like her Granny and not wear hats because they're all too small.
She looks so big in your arms in the Mother's Day picures.
