Today, Tristan had his four month check-up. Technically, he was four months on Sunday. Anyway, these check -ups are extremely critical in assessing his progression. Having a preemie may add more anxiety to parents in terms of developmental issues.
When my sisters first asked me about Tristan's developmental milestones, I did not make a big issue out of them. However, on the inside I was nervous. He seemed healthy, so why would he not be on par? The reality is many preemies are not so lucky.
However, the good news is Tristan is doing phenomenally well despite his adjusted gestational expectations. He is actually on track with a normal, full term 4 month old in his skills. Aside from his weight and length being on the small side, his motor, cognitive, and communicative skills are all on track. Our pediatrician was actually surprised.
Hopefully, he continues on this trajectory. Much future anxiety could be avoided on my end.
On a side note, I am having some technical difficulties with pics at the moment. I will post some soon.
