2 Month Check-up Posted: 10-10-06 18:46pm
We took .Alyvia in for her two month
check-up today. She's 9 pounds 2 ounces
now and 22 inches long. The pedi said
she's in the 25th percentile for weight
and height, and that she's 'petite' but in
excellent health. My .Aly's a tiny little
thing!
She also got an oral vaccination and two
shots. My husband had to hold her arms
while the pedi gave the shots. I had to
turn around, I couldn't watch my baby get
stuck.
She's been really sleepy since then. I've
given her tylenol drops and she hasn't
developed a fever yet, and she's eaten
twice (pedi said she might not want to
eat, so .I'm happy she's eaten something),
but she's really fussy when she's awake.
Her cry is definitely different today, so
I know my poor girl doesn't feel very
good. I'll just be happy when this is
over.

Give that sweet little girl extra cuddles!
Shots are awful - but way better than the
alternative!
Petite is perfect. My daughter was in the
25% percentile her whole...Well, life.
She is all skinny legs and no chub on her
at all. Sounds like your daughter is the
same!

Thanks ladies. Her pedi said .Aly was in
great health, and she wasn't surprised
that she was so little, because her father
and I are both small. (i'm 5'4, 120ish
and he's 5'9, 160ish). In the waiting
room people thought she was a freshly-born
baby, until I took her out of her car
seat. Aly was (mostly) holding her head
up on her own and was looking around at
everyone and sucking on her hands. Pretty
advanced for a brand-new baby!
i think the nurse scared her. She
screamed like crazy when the lady took her
to be weighed and measured. The nurse was
laughing when she brought her back,
because .Aly was acting like she was
stabbing her! I comforted her for a few
minutes, but when the nurse came back she
started crying even before getting her
temperature and pulse taken! She's such a
little drama queen.
She started running a low-grade fever a
little while ago. I gave her another dose
of tylenol since her last dose was early
this afternoon. I can't stand to see her
feeling ill. I'll just be glad when she's
feeling like her old self again. It
really makes me worried to see her this
way.

Aww poor little skoot. Give her big
kisses from me and .Melia. Melia knows
what it's like to get those shots. Poor
baby! She is a tiny little thing.
Melia was in her 45% range.
She will be fine though just give her a
day or so.

We let .Aly sleep with us last night. She
was feeling so miserable and was so fussy
that I let her cuddle up next to me. It
seemed to soothe her, poor baby.
The pedi told me that her stools might
become loose, but I was more focused on
other things. I'm worried about fever and
lack of appetite, not poopie diapers.
Well, that was a mistake. I woke up in a
wet patch this morning. Not only did .Aly
have "loose stools", she had an explosion!
Her diaper was completely saturated and
it was leaking from both sides. I had to
give .Aly a bath and wash the sheets.
She's much more active today, but she
still feels a bit warm and she's very
cuddly. This girl has me wrapped around
her little finger!

That is how it goes normally...The cutest
little things in the world have a way of
latching on. But I think I have latched
on more to her than she has to me. Lol.
I noticed that .Melia was cuddly a lot
the day after and didn't want me to put
her down. But she sure did sleep good.
I have yet to have an explosion
nappie....But I am sure that I will soon.
Melia always sleeps in the bed with me.
Everynight. I'm sure that I will need to
break her of the habit but I love her
cuddling with me.
