excuse the mess. she obviously didn't want to hear us talking anymore.
She is 23.6 lbs and 31 inches! She's getting so big. What happened to my 7lb 7oz 19 inch newborn?! It's exciting & sad at the same time. She's at such a fun age, but I miss her being so little. 
Blowing bubbles/spitting (new her obsession)
The doctor heard a heart murmur in her today. There's a lot of information about them and most of the stuff I'm finding is saying that most murmurs are 'normal' and not to worry, but there's always that one abnormal one and I can't help but to think about the bad stuff. Most of them close up on their own so let's hope that's the case with hers. She has an echocardiogram scheduled for the 24th so hopefully we will know more then.
Then...the doctor came in & remeasured her head and said "it's pretty big." She was in the 50th percentile for head growth at her 12 month check up & now she's almost off the charts. :/ We have to go back in 6 weeks to measure again & hopefully it has slowed down or hasn't grew at all. I'm nervous about this. He asked if our families have big heads, but I don't think there's anyone 'out of the ordinary' with a big noggin. There's a lot of bad stuff that could come out of this, but I'm not even googling about it because I'm trying to stay positive & not get stressed.
Our Monday didn't start out that well... :/
Sorry to hear the not so good news about your precious little girl. Please know that it's all in the hands of the Lord! Also, my daughter just went through an MRI on her head a month ago, at just 7 months old, because her head too was measuring off the charts! The results came back that she just has extra fluid around the brain, which is pretty common and our ped said should go away by age 2. I hope this provides you with some comfort. Know that you guys are in my prayers and know that your worry is perfectly normal but your daughter is protected by the lord!
