Today I went to the doctor for a checkup. Â I got weighed, measured, and vaccinated.
After almost Three 1/2 months I finally made it onto the GROWTH CHARTS. Â Â The charts I speak of are a scale that the doctors use to mark down and measure my growth compared to a average full term baby. Before, my weight and height were not even on the charts. Â I was plotting in the negative percentiles. Â But today I am weighing in at 10lbs 15 oz, putting me in the 10th percentile of where a FULL TERM Baby would be. Â And at 23 inches long I am in the 20th percentile!!! Â This is really great news especially since I was born 2 and 1/2 months earlier then a full term baby and weighed 3lbs 2oz!! Â I have come a long way.
I am catching up nicely and getting lots of fat for my family to pitch and kiss.
Unfortunately, Â right after mommy and daddy got this good news I got 2 vaccination shots. 🙁 Â So much for being rewarded for my good work.
