We just got back from Annika's 2 month well baby check up. She has been declared a healthy, growing (obviously) baby. She is now 12 pounds, 15 ounces and 23 and 3/4 inches long which are both in the 95th percentile. Her head circumference was 39.2 cm. The doctor checked her heart, lungs, eyes, ears and hips. Then the doctor spent a while talking to me about Annika and her development (eating and sleeping habits, smiling, cooing, etc.) We also talked about my returning to work, the daycare situation (there will be none for a while), etc. She explained the vaccinations to me, both what they are and how they're given and also told me what to look for and who to call if there's any questions. Then she left and the nurse came back in to administer the 3 shots of 5 vaccines. I had to help hold her down (keep her legs from moving). Oh, the crying and the tears! Annika was most unhappy with the shots. The nurse left as quickly as she could (ha!) and I calmed Annika down. It took me quite a few minutes before she stopped crying. Then I dressed her and we came home. We'll spend lots of time cuddling tonight and hopefully she won't have any reactions.
