2 Month Check Up

Macie had her two month check up today. She is 13.1 lbs and 22 inches long. She is growing appropriately for her age and they were impressed with her eating and sleeping habits. She had three of her shots today and oh my- that sucked. She screamed like I have never heard a baby scream before. She screamed and cried and looked at me, then Phil, then back at me and then came the lower lip. I lost it!!! Seeing your baby cry like that because they are hurting is really sad and there is nothing you can do to stop the hurt. Part of me wanted to swipe her up off the table and run out of there and just keep her in a bubble the rest of her life, but I had to get a grip. She was already a little fussy since it was feeding time and then this nurse started jabbing her like a pin cushion....it was awful! She cried hard for about 20-30 minutes (seemed like 2 hours) and finally exhausted herself and she fell asleep. While she was crying, we made an attempt at feeding her, but she was too upset. So we went and did some shopping and she stayed conked out the WHOLE TIME!!! My poor baby! Below is a picture of her owie and her cute little belly button. I asked the Dr. about that too since it pops out like that when she cries....it's normal. I had an umbilical hernia when I was a baby so I was worried about it but he said if it doesn't "close up" by a year or so then we might have to have it looked at again. Anyway...all is well and she's healthy and just cute as a bug!
