OUCH!!

Katelyn had her 2 month check-up today. That means this was the big vaccination appointment, 4 shots for our baby girl. We'll get to that, but first for the check-up and stats. Katelyn is growing ask predicted and is still much longer and heavier than most 2 month olds (our over-achiever).

Head Circumfrence: 15.75 (80%...up from last time which must mean she's going to be smart)
Weight: 12 lbs, 8 oz (90%, same as last month)
Height: 24.25 inches (95%, same as last month)

Overall, Katelyn got a good report. Now for the tough part...the shots! Everyone warns you how bad it'll be and that the shots are harder for mom than baby. I didn't sleep much last night in anticipation. The nurse gave the shots. First of all they made me "restrain" her and hold her still and pin her arms down. That alone made me upset. Then came the first shot. After a 5 second delay the screams started. Poor thing!!!!!!!!!!!! Once the screams started she finished the shots with rapid fire. The nurse says "okay here's your reciept" and basically runs through the door and quickly closes the door behind her. There I am left to console Katelyn who is screaming. She's never really cried like that before. It lasted about 10 minutes and then she feel asleep. Crying like that must have taken its toll and knocked her out. She was fussy a little, but smiled some later in the day. We gave her Tylenol to soften the soreness.

I'm so glad that is over!!! Katelyn you did such a great job considering. Dr. G was very proud of you! you have hit all of your milestones, keep up the good work!
