2 month check up


Can you believe it, our little princess is already two months old! We went to her 2 month dr visit on Friday, which was a 2 hour shin dig...Friday before the holiday and lots of babies coming out crying from their vaccinations! Anyway, it was a day I was nervous for with it being her first set of shots. She got two shots, one in each leg, then one vaccine orally. As I was anticipating leaving the room and having daddy handle it, I decided to stay in and hold her hand. Well, the first shot went in and nothing...no reaction at all! So then the second shot came and she turned bright red for a minute, cried, then that was it...she was over it! Wow, that was it?! That's what I've been stressing for the past few days?!

She did come down with a fever after, which tylenol every four hours helped and was terribly fussy until about 2 am, but as expected. So now we have to do it all over again in two months for her four month check up. :(

The dr said she looks and sounds great. She was very impressed with how alert Rhowan is and how much she is smiling and cooing already. She said her coloring was great and she is holding her head up well. She is now 10 lbs and 9 oz, she is 24 1/4 inches long (she's already had a few growth spurts)! She is in the 95% for her height and 50% in her weight, so she said she will be tall and lean! (Taking after her daddy, thank goodness!) :)

I had my list of questions, or else I forget, and the dr was very helpful and patient with them all.

So all is looking good and she is doing fabulous.

We can't wait to spend our first Christmas with her. We took her to the Grove and had her pictures taken with Santa. She did so good, she smiled and tried looking for his boobs to eat, but realized there wasn't anything there, so she went back to smiling for us at the camera! :)
