2 Month Appointment

Today was Alyssa's 2 month appt though she'll be 2 months tomorrow. It was a great appt until the end. She was very good for the nurses and the doctor...

She measured at 9 lbs 9 oz and 22 inches with her head at 38 1/4 cm. She is in the 25% group for weight and length, and 50% for her head, but those numbers are inline with how she measured at birth... we thought her head was getting so big from us always telling her how pretty she is!!

She got some baby Tylenol for the first time, cherry, in anticipation for the 4 shots she was to receive.

At the end, two nurses come in, they give her the medicine in her mouth first, which she spit part out. Then, they each grabbed a leg and injected two shots each. Alyssa did NOT like that! Her face was the darkest red-purple I have ever seen on her before. But, after 10 seconds, she took a breath, calmed down, and fell asleep almost immediately. I think the Tylenol made her drowsey, so I'm so glad I gave it to her.

She gets her pictures tomorrow!!
