2 Month Check-up...aka scary shot time!
Yesterday was Leah's 2 month check-up. Which also meant shots! She weighed in at 11lbs 10oz, and is 22in. She did so well while Dr. Boe was checking her out...cooing, smiling, flailing about in happiness. Then came the nurse...with an oral med and with not 1, not 2, but 3 shots! Leah did okay with the oral med, just a little gag. She also did really well for the first poke, she just had a shocked looked on her face. Then came poke 2 and 3, and there it went. She is such a good baby, that I've learned her hungry, tired, change me cry. This cry was one I had not yet heard...a hurt cry. Broke my heart, but I did well. After I snuggled her for about 1 minute, she calmed down and fell asleep on the ride home...and slept from 4:30 PM to 4:00 AM, waking up once to eat. This was very unlike her, so I was prepared with baby meds just incase she got a fever. However, this morning she was her bubbly self again. Her chubby little legs are swollen, but she was smiling and cooing like every other morning...what a champ! I thank God everyday for such an easy-going, healthy baby girl!

I'm so proud of you for handling it so well! They need to learn to have two nurses giving all of the shots at the same time...that way they only get stuck once!! :)
