Two Month Appointment

Happy Friday everyone!

A little blurry, but the grin shines through!

Claire's two-month appointment was on Wednesday (it is still so hard to believe she is two months already!!), and, as always, it went very well and Dr. M, her pediatrician, was pleased with her progress.  She weighed in at 10 lbs, 15.5 ounces and measured 24 inches, for a gain of 1 lb, 9 ounces and 2 inches since her last pediatrician's appointment and for a total gain of 2 lbs, 11.5 ounces and 2.75 inches since birth.  Not a huge surprise since she definitely likes to eat!!  Of course, the main point of the appointment was vaccinations.  

Bo giving Claire a "pre-shot pep talk."

It was definitely hard watching Claire's face go from happy, to shocked, to upset in a span of 15 seconds, but fortunately she calmed down once we got outside the office.  She almost immediately fell asleep in the car, and remained that way for the next 2 hours.  In hindsight, I probably should have woken her up and given her a preemptive dose of baby Tylenol so she wouldn't be in pain when she woke up for good ... after trying to comfort her for the 20 minutes of crying that took place until the medicine kicked in, I definitely learned my lesson! Fortunately, that was the only hitch, and she has been back to her happy self ever since.

Although the main point of this blog is to keep everyone updated on Claire's condition and progress with her O, it doesn't mean that I don't want you to share in the non-medical part of her life as well [as is probably apparent from the tons of pictures I post on Facebook.  I would apologize, but I am not sorry :) ].  Here are some photos from the past week to give you a snapshot of Claire's daily life:

We hope y'all have a great weekend!
