Official 9 Month Appointment

Hadley had her official 9 month appointment a few weeks ago. She is right on track with development and her official measurements were:

Height: 30" and in the 99th percentile
Weight: 19 1/2 lbs and in the 60th percentile
Head: I don't remember but I know it was 25th percentile

Dr. Brack still heard the heart murmur so she recommended we see a pediatric cardiologist to have everything checked out. She was not concerned and felt like it was literally just a slight noise and not a defect or issue at all. Of course we were a little nervous about having to take her, but felt everything would be just fine. We choose not to tell grandparents to save them from worry (you can be mad at us now if you want ;-/). We went Monday to the cardiologist and did an EKG and echo-cardiogram (ultrasound).

The EKG went well and fast as she was entertained by all the hanging butterflies in the room. The ultrasound was a little bit longer.. after 10oz of milk and 3 different tries from the tech we finally finished. The Dr was very very thorough and knew after the first ultrasound the murmur was absolutely nothing. He compared it to a little freckle on your skin. He had the technician redo a few of the shots because he wanted to thoroughly check every valve. He said everything looked perfect and the murmur will not cause any medical concerns ever. It is innocent and so therefore you can never blame anything on it.. his words exactly.

She will be 10 months in 4 days.. only a couple months away from her birthday!!! We had a photo shoot planned with Victoria  for her birthday invitations but since she is 36 weeks pregnant and 3cm dilated already we had to postpone it till after baby Lind's arrival! I cannot believe baby Lind will be here in the next couple of weeks possibly days.Yay!
