1 month doc appt

haley's one month doc appt was nov 1 -- although she was really 5 wks and 4 days old at that time.  we wanted to see a specific doctor so delayed a week to get a slot with him.   everything is going well, but we wanted to get his opinion on the shaping of her head to be sure we don't need to do anything by a certain time.  the doc thinks things are perfectly normal and that there is nothing to do (consistent with the other doc we saw at her 1 month appt), so we were happy to hear that.  he said her hips are also looking good, but we will schedule an ultrasound in the coming weeks just to be sure everything is A-OK.  (breech baby girls have a high risk of hip dysplasia, but they think she'll be fine).  everything else was great.


she weighed 10 lbs 2 oz (50-75 percentile), and measured 23 inches long (95 percentile). she has a very long torso, so we have been wearing 3 month size outfits the past few weeks! 
she did have to get a shot, though.  i was not looking forward to that part, but she did excellent, all things considered.  she only cried for a few minutes and was calm once we loaded her in the car seat and daddy started 'swinging' her in the room.  then, just a few whimpers in the car and she was fast asleep after i started driving.  she even did well while i ran a few errands after the appt.  she's such a trooper!  


here's a pic of her battle wound...well, the band-aid on her thigh!
