Morning everyone
(SURPRISING UPDATE BELOW!!)
Well Gabbi went for her check up yesterday, she is just over 4 months old now.
She is:
Weight - 7.4 kgs or 16 lbs 3oz (at 3 months she was 6.4kgs)
(We think that she is a little less as they have old fashioned scales and they kept moving and not right. We think she's more like 7.2 kgs - 15 lbs 9 oz)
Length - 57 cm (at 3 months she was 56cm) (UPDATE BELOW!!!!!)
Head circ - 39 cm (at 3 months she was 37 cm)
If these measurements are right then she has put on 1 kgs in 1 month (it's been 1 kg each month), grown 1 cm and head circ has grown 2 cms. How does this sound to everyone?
According to the percentile chart, weight she is 95 and length she has gone down, lower than 5!!!! Her length has been 25, 25, 10 now less than 5, do you think she's growing ok?
She's great, rolled over once, when on her stomach, she moves around, literally turns, laughs, whinges, sleeps eats, she is ok I think
Both OH and doc got a little annoyed with the old nurse (not juts old but old fashioned), she was saying Gabbi is too white (all Bulgarian babies have olive skin, but Gabbi is only half Bulgarian!), she has marks under her eyes which could indicate a problem (both me, my mum and Gabbi's BULGARIAN sister has them), she got the doc and he said it was nothing as he also saw I had them, he just smiled. Then she went on to say she needed her hips checking. By this time OH was a little annoyed, he said we went last month after you told us to!!!! Doc said, just do what I ask you to do and no more!! Oh went on to say we have books, family with babies, I am member of this forum and chat with other mums and Gabbi is healthy and perfect and nothing wrong with her. She shut up then. I am waiting to hear from my friend to find out which doc she uses as I don't want to go this one anymore!!!
Gabbi did have her first injection, Hep B. She cried for about 30 secs, whineged for 2 mins and was fine. I was so proud of my little cheeky monkey.
So, how are your 3,4 or 5 month babies getting on?
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!! Normally me and OH measure Gabbi when we get home, forgot yesterday. We have just emasured her and she is .........................................

62 cms long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's 5 cms longer than the nurse said! That's it, settled, we are changing docs!! I wouldn't mind but she did it twice! So her length percentile is 50, that's a little better than less than 5!
Now last month, when they said 56 cms, she was probably wrong with that, I measured her and was sure she was longer but she was wriggling that much I couldn't 100% confirm it.
