Thursday

Tess had her 4 month dr.'s appt. today. Just about 50% for everything...
weight 13 lbs 15 ou.
height 25 inches

Sully at 4 mo. 15 lb 11 oz, 27 inches
Avery at 4 mo. 12 lb 9 oz, 24 1.4 inches
Lauren at 4 mo. 14 lb 11 oz, 25 3/4 inches

One worrisome thing is that Tess still has the heart murmur that the dr. detected at her 2 month appt. He said that he feels fine with just continuing to monitor it because she shows no signs of a heart problem - she is growing and doesn't struggle to eat. But there are possibilities of something wrong even without the signs. Although he is fairly confident that she is just fine and she will out grow this.

But he also said that for peace of mind an echo cardiogram wouldn't be a bad idea. He said if the murmur is still there at 9 months we would definitely do the test.

Jordan and I talked about it and we decided that we like peace of mind. And if there is something wrong, we want to know sooner rather than later. So we'll be getting that scheduled for December some time. I'm truly not really worried. She is so healthy and happy and I am confident she'll outgrow this but like I said, peace of mind...

Everyone says that she looks like Jordan and Sully.
She also has a 'Lauren-look' to her.

I will be thinking of you and the heart tests...they are never fun, but peace of mind is always a good thing.
