So, back in October baby Ryan's head was in the 49th percentile. At her 6 month check up the size had jumped up a bunch, so the doctor said we should keep an eye on it and I should bring her in to check it again. I went in yesterday and we measured her head again, she had jumped to the 97th percentile!!
The doctor said we should get it checked so he made an appointment for a CT scan. At this point he told me not to worry, that we just need to make sure nothing is going on.
My gut reaction was that nothing is wrong, she is doing everything developmentally she's supposed to be. But deep down inside I have to admit I was freaking out, I knew I needed to just wait and see what the results were before I get worried. I let myself at one point do the whole "what if" thing, and had a bit of a break down. Steve was great and told me not to "what if" myself!! He said, "What if" you get in an accident on the way to the hospital?" and it made sense that I need to just wait and see.
Long story short, my baby is totally fine. They did the CT scan and nothing is wrong. My conclusion, she's just going to be really smart and have a Big Brain!!
Truthfully, long story short, I love this baby more than life itself and have no idea what I would do without her. She is the most amazing little girl and brings a smile to my face and melts my heart with her smile or her "talking". She completes our family, and I'm so thankful to my Heavenly Father that she's going to continue to do that!!

I am glad to hear everything is o.k.
she really is quite smart with her "dadas and mamas" that she is saying already. Ethan is still content with cooing!!! Consider yourself lucky to have another smart Linden on your hands!!! I am sooo glad everything is ok, she is the sweetest thing.
I hate scares! Really I am so relieved that she is okay and that she'll just be really smart! Boy she's such a doll! I love you and her!
And Braden did not pass his pink eye to us . . . so far so good!
It sucks going through stuff like that but, I am glad it all worked out. Ryan is so cute!!
She is such a cutie, and is sure to be a smartie too!
I am so glad to hear everything is fine! She is such a cutie and I can tell your big kids just love her to pieces!
she's related to some brains, so it makes sense that hers is large! : )
