I thought it was so funny and cute while Londyn was waiting for nurse to get her shots she was ripping up the paper, she was losing her patience.

* worried wednesday *
Today was Londyn's 6 month check up and it didn't go as smooth as it usually does. She got her monthly shots, was weighted and measured. The doctor came in said weight was good 13 lbs 4 oz 10th percentile and height 24 3/4 25 percentile which I assume means she will be skinny and short. Then she got to her head size and it went up 1" 1/4 from the last appointment at 4 months. She seemed concerned that it got a little too big so she re took it and it was 17 1/4. She went from consistent 25-50% to 75-90% and even thought her head size looked big. So as a concerned and clueless mother I asked OK so what does that mean? She said it could be nothing, it could be genetics and worst case is she can have water in her head. So just to be on the safe side to come back before 9 months for her to see the progress. The look on my face must have said it all because she said you look a little concerned maybe I will just send you to the pediatrician neurologist for him to make sure everything is ok. Well I left there upset and yes I cried. I thought of all the negative that could happen and then I started to google, after what I found I stopped. I called my friend who is a doctor and got advice from him. I called my mother and mother in law to see if Josh or myself had a bigger head but we didn't. The first appointment I got was in 2 weeks so I have to wait for 2 weeks for an answer. The more people I tell the more I hear that this to has happened to them and their kids were fine. Some of the symptoms I read online Londyn didn't have. I'm sure it's fine but I just worry and pray everything will be ok.
