Emilee had her 4 month old check up today. She is doing really well with her weight gain and Dr. Robinson is very pleased. Ever since Emilee was still in the NICU, we have been keeping track of every milliliter that she takes in to be sure that she is getting the amounts of formula that she needs. Since her weight gain is doing well, we have the okay to stop taking such good notes. =) Which for us will make her bottles so much easier to make. She is also also being dropped down on calories for her formula. She has been on 24 calorie formula since she came home but since she's eating well and gaining weight we asked if her calories could be dropped down to at least 22 for a little while to see how she does. So thanks to Shannon (who we are so grateful for because she's the one that gave us a ton of habermann bottles and formula) we have 18 cans of 22 calorie formula. We are set on formula for a little while. =) Emilee also got 3 immunizations at her visit. One is oral which she ended up blowing bubbles from her nose with that one and then she got two shots. They did her shots both at the same time, she only cried for just a minute and then was done. As you can see in the picture of her band-aids, she actually has some chunky thighs, perfect for shots.
For the rest of the afternoon she didn't even seem to care that she had shots and acted just as happy for the rest of the day as she always does.
Her stats for the month:
Weight: 13lbs 3oz
Length: 23.75 inches
Head Cir: 16.25 maybe cm
not sure on that one
Happy and Smiling as always!!
