2 Month Appointment

I hate well-check days. I just wake up with a guilty feeling in my stomach because I know that I am taking smiling baby to the doctor so they can make her cry with shots :(

But I know it's worth it. Aspen had her 2 month baby well check this morning. We are a couple weeks late in getting her in to see the pedi, so it's more like 2 1/2 month appointment. She woke up in an especially good mood today too. So it didn't make me feel any better about having to take her. The appointment was fairly quick. We saw Dr. B and he was wonderful. He did a great job going over things with us. He said that Aspen looked fantastic. He mentioned that her hips were a little loose, but didn't feel like they were dislocated or anything, so I don't think that is even a concern. Just something to take note of if needed in the future.
Then he left and the nurse came in and gave the poor girl FOUR shots (two in each leg) and an oral vaccination. She didn't cry as bad as I thought she would, but she still let us know that she wasn't happy about them. But once we picked her up and cuddled her for a minute she was fine and fell asleep as soon as we got to the truck.

As for her stats,
Weight: 11 lbs even (50%) Up from 9lbs 2 oz at one month
Height: 21 1/4" (10%) Up from 20" at birth and her one month. I told Curt that she may take after his grandmother who isn't even 5ft, lol.

She did get to pretty bandaids though. A nice sparkly one :) Too bad she's too young to appreciate the sparkles though, lol.
