2 month checkup
I took London for her 2 month checkup yesterday. Usually these checkups are smooth, in and out. Her's was a little more detail. First for the good news, she is growing wonderfully. She is now 23 3/4" & 12lb 15oz. She is in the 75th percentile for height & head circumference & 85th for weight! I was really pleased to see has done so well. She is a continuous eater during the day but she takes a break at night and sleeps anywhere between 7-9 hours a stretch! However, London's doctor was examining her girl parts when she had becomed concerned about how little she is in that area. I'll try not to get too graphic here. So Dr. explained to me what could be going on or that London will just be "small" in that area, which I what I'm hoping for! She suggested we do an ultrasound to check to make sure her kidney's are functiong and growing properly and that her uterus is even there and/or growing properly as well. She had noticed this concern at her 1st appt when she was just 2 weeks old but she thought we'd wait till this appt to see if it had grown, since it is supposed to grow with her. It had not so she wanted to eliminate all possible problems. We got the results last night, well part of them. Her kidney's are perfect! I really wasn't worried about her kidney's as they had measured right on in my ultrasounds during my pregnancy with London. They need to redo the part to find her uterus. The tech thought she saw the uterine line but as the radiologist looked at the pictures he could not see this. They had to come in to take additional scans of her groin to try to see some certain tissue and maybe that would help determine the pictures more clearly. Unfortunately it did not. So they will schedule an appt for another ultrasound, hopefully today, so that the radiologist can be right there in the room and opt for better pictures this time. They also want to try to keep her bladder full, well it's almost impossible to do that so I don't know what they'll suggest. I'm hoping that because her insides are so tiny they are just having a hard time seeing it and it's sitting further back. As a parent it's hard to just sit and wait for results and you only want your baby to be perfect. So it's been a little bit hard for me but I'm trying to remain positive through all this. We just went through so much with Talon I didn't want to have to go through anymore! So I will hope and pray that my little girl is completely healthy and okay! Until then...
