Grace went to the pediatrician today for her one month well baby check-up --- yes, she is five weeks old today. She weighed in at 8 lbs 5 1/2 oz. and 20 1/2 inches. She is in the twenty-fifth percentile for both weight and height. That is quite a switch from her big brother!
Dr. Shiner also checked her cold symptoms out. Grace has been coughing and congested since Sunday night. She has been so stopped up and miserable that both Mom and Dad have been really concerned about her. Sometimes she coughs so hard that she vomits and sounds like she's strangling. Anyhow . . . Dr. Shiner said that her symptoms are similar to those of bronchialitis. She said that most babies get better without any medical intervention. If she gets a fever again or if her symptoms get worse, then we are to go to the ER or back to the doctor's office.
We can't wait for her to feel better!
