Thou shalt not Murmur

Yesterday my wife and I took our daughter Lilly in for her 6 month check up. I was just a normal check up, and she had to get more shots. She was fine until the nurse came in the room. Then she got upset. I think she remembered getting the shots when she was 4 months old, and did not like it, or the nurse that gave them to her. The first time the nurse came in it was just to get her weight and measurements. But Lilly did not like her being in there or touching her. She weighed 17 lbs 6 oz, which puts her in about the 55th percentile for her weight for 6 months old. But she is only in the 27th percentile for her height, which is why she is so chubby. J I am happy about that, because it looks like she will take after her mom. I love Marni’s height! I think it is the perfect height for a woman. Not that there is anything wrong with tall woman. I just think short woman are better. So it makes me happy to know that my daughter will be cool like her mom. Any way then the doctor came in, Lilly seemed a little nervous at first, but when she realized she was not the nurse, she was fine, she even seemed to like the doctor, and tried to play with her stethoscope. Then the nurse came back to give her the shots. As soon as she walked in she got upset, but especially when we put her on the table. She screamed. As soon as she was done, I picked her up and she was a little better. Then I gave her to her mom, and she was fine. She loves her Mommy! One thing though when the doctor was in, she was doing the check up, and seemed to take a long time listening to her heart. She said that Lilly has a small heart murmur. She said that it is actually common in babies her age and that she is not worried about it, so we shouldn’t either. So hopefully it will all be fine. But I still worry.
