2 Month Check-up


We had our two month check-up today with Dr. Mike. We are actually 10 weeks old, but due to the holidays we got in to see the doctor a little late. Mom and dad let us duke it out while we waited for the doctor. Thank goodness we didn't give one another a black eye, but we both got in a few good shots. As you can see from all of the bandages, we had our first round of immunizations - four shots and one drink. We handled the pain quite well if I do say so myself, although I did see actual tears come out of Lily. Dad said that I was screaming so loud that my face turned a deep shade of red and he thought I was going to explode. I think dad exaggerates. Mom and dad took a friend's advice (thanks Donna) and had a bottle ready to go as soon as the shots were done. That quieted both Lily and I right up and we were ready for our next adventure to Target. As for our height and weight we both made great gains according to Dr. Mike. I weighed in at 11 pounds 6 ounces (33rd percentile) and was 22 1/2 inches long (20th percentile). Lily weighed 10 pounds 6 ounces (32nd percentile) and was 22 inches long (23rd percentile). Both of our head circumferences were near the 30th percentile as well, although my head was a little bigger. That must mean I have more brains, but don't tell Lily. Otherwise everything looked good. I did hear the doctor say we have to go back when we are 4 four months old, but maybe he was just being silly. We sure hope so.

Yea that is fun, the shots. Well, Abrielle had a bad reaction to the first one. Now I have this knot in my tummy about giving her any more. Brent and I just can not decide what to do with them. I better hurry and decide. She got two but we held off on the others for now. I do not know why I can not make the decision. Wow, I hope I can make other decisions better than this.
