You had your two month check up this week (yes, it's crazy to me that you are already having that two month check up).
You weighed 11 pounds 14 ounces and you're 23 inches long. You have grown quite a bit since you were born (at birth you were 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20.5 inches)! The doc gave you a good report and said everything looked good. Of course, we figured that was the case, but it was good to hear from the doc.
The two month appointment also meant that Dad and I got to experience your first set of shots. I was so nervous about this traumatic experience and did not sleep well on Monday night. However, I was happy when two nurses came in to give you the shots at the same time and get it done more quickly. I'm not entirely sure you thought it was a good idea. The nurses prepared us by saying you were not going to be a happy camper when they started, which I knew, but I'm still not sure your Dad was prepared. You made it through like a champ and stopped crying as soon as the nurses backed away from you. Of course, my stomach still wretches thinking about your face and cries during that time. I'm thinking this will happen several more times in the future as I encounter times when I know you need to go through experiences, but there is nothing that I can do to ease your pain or make it better.
You were pretty worn out when we got home so you ate and slept all afternoon. Dad and I were shocked as you slept in your crib for a very long stretch of time. Of course, when you got up that night you wanted to snuggle with me, which I gladly welcomed.
We'll be back to see your doc in a couple months and I've already started preparing myself for the second round of shots. Judging by the little girl that was in the room next to us that we heard getting her shots after you got yours, I think we should start preparing ourselves for the shots when you're older and can remember them. She was definitely not a happy camper and did not want to let anyone get close to her during the process.
