Today was Ella's 2 month well check appointment. She now weighs 11 lb, 10 oz, 75th percentile & is 24 1/4 inches long, 97th percentile! Her head is measuring 15 1/4 inches, 50th percentile.
Let me tell you about our visit. While in the waiting room, she woke up, gave me a smile or two, proceeded to spit up and then shoot formula out of her nose. Of course I still had her all strapped into the carseat, so I was frantically getting her out so she could breathe for goodness sakes! I suctioned out all the yucky stuff & thought it'd be smooth sailing. Not so lucky I guess. The dreaded gas is worse than ever for little Ella, and she let everyone know it today. She was bright red faced and screaming because of the gassy tummy (it sucks). Thankfully, we're switching formulas to see if that is the cure for her, otherwise we'll be back to visit to figure this out. So on top of being really mad about the gas, she had to get 4 vaccine shots & 1 oral vaccine. The nurse gave the oral vaccine first - Ella started choking because she was crying & wasn't swallowing. Lovely. Then came the dreaded shots. I knew it wasn't going to be pretty - but JEEZ! We're talking purple face - straight up pissed off. I had tears for sure, and if I hadn't been by myself I probably would have been crying right along with her. But, it's all over now. She fell asleep....and fingers crossed....she'll sleep for a while yet this morning.
I've been lacking in the updated photos, but I have some 9 weeks shots that I'll try to post later this morning. Tomorrow she'll be 10 weeks old. So crazy!

Poor Ella....and Poor Sara....I wonder who the appointment was harder on ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey guys,
ReplyDeleteKudos for making it through the shots. They suck. But you are protecting her by doing them, so just remember that!
How is the new formula going? Oh, I hope she's feeling better!!!!
Thinking about you guys ...
