2 Month Check-Up

Monday November 30, 2009, Leila went in for her 2 month well-child check-up. She was actually 11 weeks to the day, so a little older than 2 months. She was weighed and measured.

Head: 40 cm - 52%

Height: 24 inches - 54%

Weight: 12 pounds 6 ounces - 75%

She also had her first group of shots. This first visit, they have 3 shots and an oral medication. She is a champion. Leila swallowed ALL of the medicine. The nurse said most kids spit at least a little bit out. The nurse got the first two shots in quickly, but then there was a problem with the syringe on the third shot. So she had to get get a new one. After the shots, Leila screamed. It was not too long before we got her calmed down...just in time for the nurse to come back with the third shot. Again, screaming. But she was happy and calm by the time we walked out of the doctors office.

We did not go straight home, and did not have Tylenol with us. She ate and slept. Then while we were out to dinner, she woke up and screamed...and screamed...and screamed...ate a little...and screamed. We left the restaurant and headed home. She screamed until I got on the freeway, then she was sleeping. We got home and she screamed....and screamed....well, you get the idea. We got the Tylenol in her as soon as we got home. About an hour later, she was finally calm and we were able to get her to bed. We were prepared for a night of restlessness and trying to soothe our daughter. But, nope. She went to sleep about 9:15 and slept until 8:15 the following morning!

The next morning you would have never known she was so miserable the night before. We continued to give her the Tylenol in the morning and mid-day. We gave her half a dose in the afternoon and that's the last she had. Wednesday she was a little more fussy than normal and her diapers are still a little different than normal, so I'm guessing she still isn't back to top notch. But overall, she did well with her shots.

Kuso was able to go to the doctor with us this time and meet Dr. Brasher. We were just laughing during the appointment because the doctor is so silly. I'm glad that I found a doctor that you can tell truly loves what he does.
