Today Pat and I took Mariella to her 2 month check up. Even though she is nearly 10 weeks old! We had some car malfunctions and some scheduling conflicts and finally we got her in today to see the doctor. She weighs 11 pounds and 5 ounces, she is 22.5 inches long. So she is doing fine gaining weight and growing. She checked out fine and dandy. I am worried about her poo, she seems to go several days between poops and it freaks me out. The Dr says not to worry. So I will try not too.
She had several shots today… poor Wee Baby. It was so traumatic for her and for Pat and I. I held one hand and Pat held the other. She screamed and cried for a few minutes but I was able to calm her pretty quickly. She fell asleep in the car seat when we left the office. The Doctor told us she would sleep a lot so we decided to go to Target to get some groceries and household items. We were there 5 minutes and Mariella woke up. She did so well though, she didn’t make a peep and just looked around as we went up and down the isles. You could tell she was feeling crappy from the shots…
such a good Wee Baby.
She had a few reactions from the shots, she had a little fever for the night, she vomited after her dinner, and she was crancky before bedtime. All in all she was such a trooper and I am so proud of her!
Hopefully Mariella doesn’t grow fangs and turns into a vampire…the way she was sucking it looked like she was digging in for blood…LOL!
Love you wee baby (and your mom and dad too)!
lol it was pretty funny. Pat was watching the opening of the Olympics and didn’t really notice she was doing it. ahhahhaa
