Madeleine had her 1-year checkup yesterday. She is a whopping 31 inches long (97%), 21lbs. 3oz. (50%), and 43cm head circumference (75%). So she's long and thin (for her size) with a decent sized melon. Dr. Judy said things look great and she remains impressed with Madeleine's ability to sleep 12-13 hours a night. Madeleine did have to get her MMR shot yesterday which surprised her quite a bit. Fortunately she's gotten a lot better at recovering from the "shock and awe" and only cried for a few seconds this time. Her next appointment is in June when she's 15-months old! Here's a picture of our big girl on her Bobbie Doll Car--named after the car Mooch likes to ride in the Mutts comic strip.
As for Junior...
I had my 14 week appointment this morning with Jeanne, our midwife. She's so great! I absolutely love going to The Birth Center and hanging out with the ladies there. I feel more like I'm going to a club I belong to than a doctor's office. Jeanne was gracious and let me take another look at Junior via a sonogram (no video this time...sorry) and said everything looks great. My suspicions were confirmed that my enlarged uterus is to blame for my pants fitting a little differently and not the 3 pounds I've gained. I'm sure you all wanted to know that! Junior's next appointment is in the afternoon on Monday, April 28th. That's when we'll have the "official" ultrasound and hopefully find out the sex of the baby and if you're lucky, we'll let you know too!
