Pediatrician appointment

All went well with the pediatrician this morning- he was fairly pleased with Emma's progress since her last regular visit and felt like everything is pretty normal. Still no clear answer for why Emma is so tiny and why she hasn't yet caught up on the growth curve for weight, but he assured us there was no reason to think anything is wrong with her endocrine system. Digestive system seems to check out normal as well, going by history and what we can report... We did have to go in for a CBC, and will have the results tomorrow. She weighed in at 18lbs 1oz, 31 inches long, and 18in head circumference. The Doctor was really nice, took a long time talking to us, asking questions, taking notes, checking Emma over. He is referring us to an ear/nose/throat doctor to investigate Emma's occasional "raspy" breathing. We got it on video this morning when she was being especially raspy, and he felt like it warranted some investigation. We'll probably get seen within the next several weeks- again, hope we just get reassured that it's just "Emma."
