4 Week Check-Up

9/17/09

Today we took Jocelyn to her four week check-up at her new doctor's office.  We are much happier with this office and her doctor.  It was by far a more welcoming atmosphere and they were definitly more willing to answer explain and explain any questions we had.  Thank you Aunt Cove for reccommending them!  Anyway, Jocelyn is doing great and she was very happy that she didn't have to have any bloodwork done!  She weighs a whopping 8lbs 10oz and measures 21 1/2in long, which places her in the 25 percentile for weight and 60 percentile for length!  Jim and I had been conserned with how much and how often Jocelyn hs been having the hiccups, but we were reassured that this is not something to worry about because mjority of newborns get the hiccups and they should go away or at least lessen dramatically by 3 months of age.  We also asked when to expect her stork bites to diminish, but because all babies are different we didn't  really get an answer, although she did mention that majoority od stork bites are completely gone by 18 months.  Her next appointment will be her 8 week check u, scheduled on October 21st!  We'll keep you updated!
