Today, Jonathon and I took Claire to her Pediatric Heart Specialist and I am happy to report that Claire's heart murmur is gone. The doctor did not hear the murmur and the Ultrasound performed showed it had decreased considerably since she was born. The doctor also said he does not anticipate having to see her again unless our Pediatrician finds something out of the ordinary at her Well Checkups.
While at the doctor's office, they also weighed her and she is currently 10 Pounds 2 Ounces...so yay for gaining weight. So, if you are keeping track, she has gained four pounds (that is an average of 2 pounds a month).
As many of you will remember when Olivia was Claire's age, I fretted and worried about her weight for her entire first year, but I am happy to report I am not worried about Claire's weight. I have learned that as long as both girls are gaining weight, happy and healthy, that is all that really matters (plus, Claire has about three rolls on each of her thighs and they are the cutest things ever). I suppose I will never have my extremely chunky, chubby baby, but I will take happy, healthy babies any day. Don't get me wrong, my babies are absolutely beautiful, but they take after their Daddy when he was a baby, long and skinny, which is fine.
Stay tuned for Claire's 2 Month Well Checkup this Friday for the official stats.
