2 Month Well Child Visit

Well, this morning at 10:00 AM we had our 2 month appointment for Summer. Everything looks good so far! 11 lbs 10.5 ounces. 22 inches long, head was about 15.5 inches around. All joints look good, strength in legs and arms is all good. She is smiling and cooing and very alert, which we've mentioned before, and that's all normal, so we're right on track with a happy healthy baby!

The bad part...the shots. Three shots containing something like 6 vaccinations. Two shots in her left thigh and one shot in her right thigh. I let her grip my fingers with both hands, Jessica was rubbing her head, I was singing to her and she SCREAMED!!!!! Right after the last shot I put her nuk in her mouth and held her up and she immediately stopped crying...for a moment. It was about time for her to eat as well...it had been 4 hours, and she usually eats every 2.5-3 hours. The docs took a while, but that's OK. Jess had brought a bottle and I fed her immediately. She was crying off and on as I fed her, and after the first 2 ounces she was pretty quiet and we walked back to the car. She pretty much finished the bottle in the car and seemed pretty OK. Strapped her in her seat and Mommy drove home with her, as I went back to work.

I'll try and put up another update tonight/tomorrow to update how she's doing after the shots settle in. So far, she seems OK. Hopefully the food helps calm her and makes her sleepy so she can just rest through most of it.
