Last week Harper had her 2 month check up with the health nurse. She now weighs 4.5kg (up from 3.86kg at birth), is 55cm (up from 52.5cm) and her head circumference is now 38cm (up from 35.8cm). She is doing everything she should be including lots of smiles and like any typical girl she loves to chat!
A lot of people ask me if her head is changing but as it has only grown 2cm it still looks almost the same as it did when she was born. Over the next 2 months baby's heads typically grow another 3cm so we should get an idea of how head shape will progress. Unfortunately crainiosynostosis can only be corrected by surgery so her head wont round out but will continue to grow in a triangular shape.
We still have 2 weeks until our appointment with the craniofacial surgeon so we wont know anymore until then.
