1-month check-up

Today was your 1-month check-up appointment. I thought you would be getting your first shots, but that's in your next appointment (2-month check-up). I always get stressed when I have to go to the doctors because the waiting area is small and the check-up room is even smaller. I remember taking Aidan when he was younger and how I was a ball of sweat when I had to strip him down to get checked out. It was even more stressful on times when he had to get his shots. Later on, Aidan was smart enough to know that going to the doctors meant getting his vaccination shots so he would cry as soon as I started taking off his clothes.

Luckily this appointment was just to check your growth.

You are now 9lbs 1oz! Can you believe it? I knew you had grown A LOT, but I didn't know you leapt 2lbs from your last appointment. According to your doctor you are now in the 50th percentile- a lot better than the 15th percentile from before. You're also 50cm tall, a whole centimeter taller than your last appointment. 

The only concern that the doctor had was that you are a bit on the yellow side. You passed your bilirubin test at the hospital, but I still see a little bit of yellow in your eyes and your face. Just to be on the safe side the doctor wants me to go to a pediatrician to get their opinion on it.
