Kherrington's 5 day Follow-up July 6th

So Dr. Adkins is Kherrington's Doctor. We have been so happy with him. He's been great from the get go. Kherrington had a small heart murmur that was heard the morning of the 2nd. It was kind of neat to hear, and I knew that it's not that abnormal to hear right after birth. Later on that day Dr. Adkins stopped in again and the murmur was still there, but "seems higher pitched". So he explained that it probably meant that it was closing up. That was nice to hear. And the greatest news, was that it was gone by the morning of the 3rd. Yeah.
So Dr. Adkins fit us in for Kherrington's first appointment during his lunch break on Monday the 6th. Here were her stats:

Ht: 19 1/2 inches (50th Percentile)
Wt:6 lbs 5.4 oz (10th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 14 inches (about 60th Percentile)

He was just happy with her progress and that she didn't loose much weight since her birth. WAY TO GO KHERRINTON!!!

Something I also found funny was that with the printed information that Dr. Adkins gave me, there was some information that said, "Camping and crowds should probably be avoided during your baby's first month of life. Also, during your baby's first year of life try to avoide close contact with people who have infectious illnesses."
OOPS she went camping 2 times by one month of age and was around all the family. Does that count as a crowd???
