4 months

Adelyn's 4 month Stats:
Weight: 13 lbs, 7 oz
Height: 24.5 inches
Head: 16 inches

She is growing beautifully! Adelyn sleeps around 9-10 hours in a row at night, eats 5-6 times a day, and is still so laid back! She gives smiles freely to people once she studies their face for a few minutes. Her laugh is adorable! She wiggles her whole body when she smiles or laughs.

We thought we had her sold on the paci, but she has decided her two middle fingers are more comforting. She refuses the paci all the time now... oh well! The pediatrician wasn't too worried about it. I guess I won't worry, either!

We did have a few scares this month. At the beginning of the month, she had poop in her blood several times so we ended up taking her to Children's Hospital ER. Turns out she had a tear on the inside of her that was bleeding as she pooped. We were so thankful it was nothing major.

The second scare came when my mom was visiting. We were eating at Chick-Fil-A and I felt a rattle in her lungs. Josh & my mom felt it too. Since she had a low grade fever, I decided to call the doctor's exchange. The nurse asked me a ton of questions then asked to hear Adelyn breathing. The nurse thought she heard "grunting" so she told me that she didn't want me to panic but that I needed to call 911 and get an ambulance to come immediately. My mom & I (Josh had taken Hunter home at this point) decided to drive to the ER, since we thought we could get there faster than an Ambulance could get to us. Turns out it was nothing major at all. The nurse really freaked me out, but Adelyn was fine. Just an upper respiratory illness. Many hours in the ER later, we took her home....

The third scare was the day after her shots. I changed 3 diapers that had red-tinged urine in them. This is EXACTLY what happened with Hunter after his 4 month shots, which led to 7 months of antibiotics and the diagnosis of urinary tract reflux. So I took Adelyn to the doctor expecting for the same news, since it is genetic. The doctor did not see any signs of infection so we decided to wait it out. So far she has not had any more symptoms. I am really hoping we don't!!!

It has been an eventful month!

Hunter is still doing wonderfully with her. We are so thankful for our little Adelyn!
