2 Month Well Visit

Emmy had her 2 month well visit today. She is on track or above in her development. She weighs 10 pounds 13 ounces (37th percentile), is 23 inches long (63rd percentil), and her head is 15 1/4 inches (37th percentile).

I have been dreading this appointment for 2 months because of the vaccinations. Reese never did well with her vaccinations, and, unfortunately, Emmy appears to do the same. She cried bloody murder when she got her 3 shots and 1 oral medication and continued crying for about 10 minutes. She then slept most of the day, only waking to cry hysterically and eat. It was awful. I just held her all day in a dark room.

Finally, around 9pm she woke up and did not cry. Daddy was there when she woke up and she gave him big smiles. She always has smiles for Daddy - even after shots!

I don't think either of my girls have my high pain tolerance. Neither tolerated their shots well, and Emmy even cried bloody murder when I took off her bandaids. Oh geez! Her 4 month shots will come all too soon!
