2 Month Pediatrician Appointment

This morning Evie had her 2 month pediatrician appointment.

She is perfect! We already knew that but the doctor says so too!

Started off with her stats!

She is looong! 23.5 inches long. She grew 2 inches in a month! She is in the 90%ile. Wow long girl! Don't know where she got that from, I think my sister.

Her weight is average. 10 pounds 12 ounces. 50%ile. I thought she would be heavier. But perfect!

She has a tiny head! Just like daddy. 37 cm, which is the 25%ile.

Her developmental stuff is doing perfectly. Her head control is right where it should be.

She has some startings of cradle cap. They said to put baby oil on it and rub it with a soft brush to rub off the flakes. But does not bother her.

Then came the shots. Was not looking forward to these! They had me lay her down and hold her hands near her head, clasped on her chest. She was given 3 shots and one oral vaccination. Hep B, Polio, Diphteria, Tetanus, and Pertussis was all combined into one shot. The others were Pneumococcal and Hib. The Rotavirus vaccination was oral.

Started with the oral. She wasn't a fan of it. But drank most of it.

Then shot time! NOOOOO! Gave her one shot in her thigh. Wow that cry, she was so upset. Have never heard that sound come out of her! She was crying so hard no sound was coming out. And was bright red. Right after the first shot, they timed the second and third shot and gave it at the same time, one in each thigh.

Oh my poor girl was so upset. I held her right away. once they left the room I immediatly nursed her. Worked perfectly. Calmed her down and she fell asleep until we were home.

We stopped on the way home and picked up some infant tylenol (generic). She is sleeping now, and will give her a dose when she wakes up. She was fussy once we got home, but she had a snack and fell asleep in her swing.

Staying home with her today to see how she does. Just worried about her shot reactions and fussyness.

Cuddles with Evie today!
