Today was Maddie’s 2 month doctor’s appointment. She was 11 pounds, 6 ounces and about 24 inches long. She’s still a long little baby for her age! I don’t know where she gets the height from…it certainly isn’t from me!
She also got 3 shots today for various vaccinations and little vaccine cocktail she had to drink. After her shots, she cried and cried. I got her calmed down and she went right to sleep. She took a nap at home then woke up VERY upset. I finally consoled her and she fell back asleep. She was not happy with the world. After the second nap, she was a much happier baby and was full of smiles. She just needed some sleep. I put her to bed early, too. I am sure she’ll be herself again tomorrow. The funny part is that when Chuck got home, she was all smiles and he jokingly told me he didn’t believe she was upset at all! Ha!
The doctor thought Maddie was doing well and was impressed with how alert she was. She said we should record some of the cooing noises she makes since they won’t make those noises forever. I guess I should record more videos of her before she really starts talking! π
Be prepared that she might sleep extra tomorrow due to the shots. My kids always took shots well (often, they didn’t even cry!) but Connor has cried for all of his, poor baby boy. Also be prepared that she’ll get the same shots/oral vaccine at her 4-month appt. that she did at her 2 month. Connor was SO FUSSY the day after his 4-mont shots and it was surprising to me. The poor guy’s legs probably hurt and here I was putting him in his Jumperoo!! :p
Good to know! She was a pretty happy baby today, but I’ll be prepared for next time!
