Maya's 4 month checkup; Lots of visits to radiology

I took Maya in to the doctor for her 4 month check up on Wednesday. She is healthy and doing well the doctor was just concerned about a couple of things. First thing is her hips. It looks as though she might have hip displasia, meaning the ball of her hip isn't sitting in the socket quite right. So right after her appointment we went down to radiology and she had X-rays done on her hips. X-rays on babies aren't always definitive because their bones aren't hard enough to show everything on an x-ray but Mayas on Wednesday showed them enough to make them be concerned enough to have us go down to Shriners Children's hospital for ultra sounds on her hips. That appointment is scheduled for next Friday. 
The 2nd thing the doctor was concerned about is a small bump on Maya's head that I pointed out. It isn't over a suture line and it seems perfectly round. So we had to take her in for a CT scan on her head this morning. Poor little Bean has had her fair share of radiation this week.

Waiting for her CT scan.

I just got a call back from the doctor saying that Maya's CT scan was clean. WAHOO! (Enter sigh of relief here).

Maya's stats:
Weight: 13.6 lbs
Length: 25.28 inches
