It is almost time for your 4 month check-up and I am only just now getting to write about your 2 month check-up. It seems that time is moving so quickly.....I hate to think that my baby is growing up this fast!
Your two month check-up was on February 17, 2012. Your Daddy and I both attended this doctor's appointment. You are really lucky in that both your parents have the ability to arrange their work schedules and attend your appointments together. Most kids only get one parent that can go.
We very much like your pediatrician. She listens to our concerns and always seems happy and has good advice. She loves your little face too.
This time we went into a room with lots of animals on the walls. You were very interested in the animals as they were very bold against the light yellow walls (the first time we went into see the doctor we were in a room with clouds).
I dressed you very carefully for this appointment as I knew you were going to be getting shots in your thighs. I had you wear a onesie and then a gown so we could just pull it up and pull it down without having anything rubbing your tender spots. Because its winter you had to wear socks - so we put your cool hi-top sneaker socks on!
We also had you practice some tummy time while we waited for the nurse with the shots to arrive.
I didn't take any pictures while you were getting your shots because I was holding you. You were so very good and only cried at the very end. But, by the time we got into the lobby and checked out you were no longer crying and after just a minute in the car you were asleep.
When putting you in your carseat I placed a thin blanket over your thighs so that the car seat straps were not putting too much pressure on your thighs. When we got you home I nursed you and you continued to take a little nap. We watched you all day to see if you had any signs of a reaction and you did not - you were actually a wonderful child that day and I was so proud of you (so was Daddy!).
Within the hour you were kicking away on your playmat!
We did get your acid reflux medicine at this appointment and so when we return next week it will mark 2 months on the medicine.
I hope that your 4 month appointment goes just as well!
xoxo
Mom
