2 month Doc Appointment... & shots!

We went to Sydnie's 2 month check up this week. It's so much fun to see her growth progress at each of her appointments. I can't believe how fast my baby is growing!

2 month stats:

Weight: 11.16 lbs (60% centile)
Length: 24.02 inches (96% centile)

She is sooo long! She is seriously growing out of everything lengthwise. But she's pretty slender still. But trust me, she eats... and eats... and eats. Right now she is wanting to eat every two hours, so I feel like all I do is nurse.

Also at this appointment she had to get her first set of shots. I was absolutely terrified. But the time came, and I held her little hand and looked in her big pretty blue eyes & talked her thru it (or myself thru it). She screamed bloody murder for about 1 minute, until I gave her a binkie, and she was good. Even after we got home, I thought, wow, she is surprisingly happy for just getting shots... and then around 6, it hit. The saddest cries, and saddest faces I've ever seen. Little whimpers of pain... and would only stop when I held her close, or while she lay in just her diaper in her swing. She would just scream if we put clothes on her. So this is how she spent her night.


After a nap, she woke up screaming... and after a diaper change & some big loves & cuddles, she finally ate... Daddy gave her a bottle, which never happens, she will usually never take a bottle, but I had to pump while she was napping. Surprisingly she took the bottle & enjoyed her time with Daddy.


The next day we were back to our normal Routine....

Outside! Happy times!


Also this week... I've been placing Sydnie in her crib in her own bedroom from time to time to get her use to EVENTUALLY sleeping in there. (she is still in bassinet next to me in our room, not quite ready to give that up yet. I *still* check to see if she is breathing, at least 5 times a night)
She has discovered her mobile & loves it! I remember sitting in her nursery, rocking in the rocking chair, weeks before she was born... winding up that mobile... & dreaming of the day I'd put my little girl in her crib & watch her look up at the mobile & listen to the sweet music it plays. I can't believe that day is here. I am soooo lucky... so blessed to have her! I love her so much!


She is my dream come true.
