Then the nurse asks lots of developmental questions. It makes you feel horrible when you have to answer "no" and you begin to stress about whether or not you are failing the test. Here's how part of the questioning went:
Nurse: "Is she walking?"
Me: "No."
"Is she standing on her own?"
"No"
"Is she pulling up?"
"No"
"Does she stay standing if you stand her up?"
"No"
Nurse "Now this one most answer no to at this age, does she clap?"
Me "YES!"
Nurse "Well okay sounds like she is right on track."
I'm not sure how you can have that many no's and still pass but I guess clapping must have scored us a lot of points.
The doctor said she was a very healthy girl and looked great. We already new that. Even if she is not walking yet (which is she's anything like her brother will not happen for 7 more months) she is still charming everyone! We praise God for blessing us with a precious baby girl!
