The appointment was a little past the due date because the doc was on vacation, but overall it went well. Laela got weighed again and came in at 13 pounds, 5 ounces ("neked" weight). She is weighing in a little hefty and in the 89% for her age. Oh man! Her length (aka height) was 23.5" and her head size was 16" in circumference. Laela got a total of 4 shots. I asked the doctor and nurses on different occasions why they couldn't combine the shots as indicated on the CDC website but they kinda fumbled around and basically said "no". They jabbed Laela in her thunder thighs and it took a second for her to realize that there was a needle in her. But when she did, she did a good bit of crying for about 1-2 minutes. Suprisingly, she soon stopped once mommy held her and we were off on our merry way! The weekend has been interesting. The combination of shots, Tylenol (We have realized any "potion" which works on other kids doesn't work on this little girl), and thigh pain has created a slightly cranky baby. But overall, she has been pretty darn good.
Also, since I have never been around babies before, I wasn't really sure what to expect during this new experience. But I don't think babies are supposed to smile as much as she does. I wonder if mommy is slipping a little of "grandma's potion" in her milk everyday because Laela loves to smile!
Here are some pre and post doctor pictures....
Friday before school we told her that she would be getting shots that day and she still had a smiley morning. :)
Oh she is so precious in dresses, even though she does have some crazy bi-ceps!
Laela thought Aunt LeAnn was so funny!
This evening Laela was having a little tummy time and Allie Mae decided to join! Oh our sweet little girls are going to have so much fun together.
