Current mood: crushed
Well there isn't to much new to write about since I wrote so much in the last blog but I did want to write about how her 2 month old check up went... yea and it came with shots =(
What a way for Adrian and I to spend our 10 year anniversary.. in the doctors office waiting for our little angel to be stabbed by huge needles till she bled... sigh.. well first things first.
She had a very good night sleep and woke up in such a good mood. She was cooing so much and smiling like crazy. It was actually pretty chilly today for once so I got to dress her up in her cute little jogger outfit we bought last month. It has the cutest little sweat pants and jacket. She actually did very well on the car ride to the doctor’s office in Moreno Valley (30mins drive away). Daddy sat in the back seat while Mama drove for once. I didn't really want to drive but daddy worked all night long and was on less than an hour sleep.
We finally got to the doctors office and they weighed her. She’s 11 lbs 12.8 oz!!!!! She’s growing so much! She’s also 1 foot 10 inches. She did well as she lay in nothing but a diaper on the doctor table. She went nuts kicking the table because it made that crinkly sound due to the paper on it. She was so happy just kicking like crazy, smiling and cooing. Her doctor finally came in and examined her. He said she looks real healthy and to keep up the good work. He let us know that we no longer have to wake her up to eat at night and she can go all night if she needed to. (We wont let her yet thought I feel shes still to small). Her having only 1 poopie a day is also normal and all her motor skills seem good. The only thing he said we need to work on is giving...er.. making her do her tummy time at least 10 mins a day even if she screams through it. So, doctors orders I will be making her do that more often now. Maybe before bed to tire herself out enough to sleep. She did really well with her doctor till he checked her legs, that irritated her and she started crying. He later left and here comes the big bad nurse with her needles! Uh-oh. Well first she was given an oral vaccine (rotovirus) which she did ok till she started choking.. poor thing. Then came the big 3! 1 DTaP-HBV-POL (Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis, Hepatitis B, Polio), 2 HIB PRP-T (Haemophilus influenzae b), and 3 PNUcn (Pneumococcal conjugate, pneumonia). She got two in one thigh and one in the other. As soon as she was pricked she let out the biggest scream I have ever heard her do. She turned beat red, cried so hard she wasn't breathing, and was shaking. Adrian was holding her hands while I was choking up from the sight. It was awful. Then the nurse put two tiny bandages on and she bleed right thru them, so as Adrian was finally getting her to calm down, the nurse had to rip off the band aids and give her fresh ones. Of course this made her scream again.... poor baby. Eventually she was all done and Adrian managed to calm her down. I dressed her up again and she seemed happy. She spit out her binky and smiled at me as to say, its ok Mama I am ok! Adrian picked her back up and off homeward bound we went. She fell asleep in the car and when we got home, I changed her clothes fed her and she went right down for a nap. That is where she is right now. The doc told us that she may become feverish between now and two days from now and unless it gets bad we don't need to worry. We can give her .6ml of Tylenol every 4 hours. Right now I am keeping a close eye on her and will let her sleep as much as she needs to. I will write more if anything new happens. As for now I am off to get rest... we both need it haha
