So today Kali had her 2 month check-up! She was 22 1/4 inches long and 8 lbs 9 oz! I know that still seems so small, but it is a lot bigger than when she dropped to 4 lbs 10 oz and was only 18 inches long when she was born :)
Dr. Sowards said she was doing great and is gaining the weight just perfect. He said her "alertness" is great and that she responds very well to stimulation for a 2 month old. Then the bad news- she needed a couple of shots for her immunizations. The nurses came in, each with a needle in hand, and held down both legs and gave her a shot in each thigh. My poor baby...I was so close to crying! I just held her so tight. Oddly enough she only cried for about 15 seconds and then she was "over it." Then it was mommy's turn. I had my flu shot and I'll tell you- that BURNED going in. I have not had one for so long I had forgotten that it burns. I made Kali promise to take me out for ice cream later since she did better than me.
So I dropped her off at the daycare with Tylenol just in case she ran a little fever (they said the shots usually do cause a small fever). Then I headed back to work. I was at work for 3 hours when the daycare lady called and said, "Kali won't stop screaming and will not eat. I gave her Tylenol and it didn't help." So I had to run and pick the kiddo up. When I got there, she was asleep and smiled when she heard my voice. **Maybe she was just milking the situation!** haha. That's ok! I didn't mind since it was Friday and I get a couple of more hours with her now! :) She has been sleeping since we got home, we will see how this weekend goes! Dr. Sowards said sometimes the shots will cause fever and/or crying for 2 days....
