Kara had her first pediatrician visit today.  Praise the Lord she is very healthy.  She weighed in at 10lbs 12 oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. She still looks thin but the doctor said she is perfect weight for her height. She just looks thin because she is so long. Her head is 48 cm which is large. The average size head at her age is 38 to 40 cm. I asked the doctor if she would grow into her head. She said that when her head starts to fuse she will grow into it. The doctor seemed very knowledgeable on Dandy-Walker and hydrocephalus. She was great with Kara. Everything was great and our baby girl is very healthy. Exactly where she needs to be. The doctor said next she should be holding her head up and pushing her chest up. She said if she is a little delayed it will more likely be the weight of her head then the Dandy-Walker. She doesn't have to go back till she is two months to get her vaccinations. We are so thankful that God provided us this beautiful and healthy baby.
