Today we had to go to the doctor for Little Miss' 2 month appointment, which means... SHOTS She actually did great, although I
, on the other hand, was a nervous wreck. She was all smiles this morning not knowing what was about to come. She had an oral medicine and she had 3 shots, 2 in the right leg and 1 in the left leg. They did the oral dose 1st and she loved it. She sucked it down like it was candy. 2nd, they did the 2 shots in the right leg. She whimpered after the shots, but I was able to get her to smile after each of them. 3rd, they did the shot in the left leg, this one made her SCREAM. Her nurse said that she always did that shot last because it always hurts them. She said that it was the medicine in them that makes it burn. It just broke my heart!! I picked her up and she stopped crying. It felt so good to be able to console her and make her feel better.
On a happier note...She now weighs 13lbs and 9oz and is in the 95th percentile of her weight. She is 24 5/8 inces long and is also in the 95th percentile of her heighth. Her doctor said that she was doing perfect! I am such a proud little momma!! :) She doesn't have to go back to the doctor until she is 4 months, unless she is sick! I also got to add her under our insurance today! That felt so great! The first two appointments she was self-pay, but this time I was able to add our insurance! It felt so great...just one step closer to her being our's forever! It is so crazy how adoption differs from having your own child. Who would think that you would get excited over insurance! ADOPTION REALLY ROCKS!!!
i just love my big, healthy and happy baby girl!!!
Awe how sweet!! So glad she did well today! I know you are a proud Mama!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Kel... We HATE shots around our house. Haha. Now that Tuff is older, he "knows" the doctor and nurses face when he see's them. He usually immediately starts to cry. Poor thang. Just wait until she has to get her one year shots.... One in each limb (arms and legs). That visit has by far been the worst. Poor babies. Good thang they have some good cuddling mama's to pick them up and love on em' after it's over. Give Little Miss a kiss from the Aunt Ash and future BF Tuff. Hehe. Love You!
ReplyDeleteBless her heart! I hate shots, too! It's so sad knowing it's going to hurt them!
