We have Lydia's 2 month appointment next week. At first I didn't think much about it, but now reading on babycenter.com about how much they scream during (and after) their vaccines, I'm getting a little worried. I'll be taking her on my own, since DH will be at work. I am not going to have them do like all 8(!!!) vaccines at once. That just seems like too much. Since she isn't in daycare, I don't sense any urgency to get all her vaccines done right away. I'm thinking I'll only have them do two at her appointment and then gradually get the rest done.
I wonder how much she weighs now. She is definitely getting bigger! I think she might still be on the small side for her age though. Fine by me! I don't want her to get big so fast!
Speaking of her getting big so fast, I have been getting apprehensive about leaving her to go back to school. Maybe apprehensive isn't the right word. I know she will be in great hands (DH's mom and SIL's friend) but I am starting to realize I really don't want to leave her. I knew it would be hard, but I never thought I would want to stay home. I have been saying since day 1 that I could never be a stay-at-home mom. I am beginning to sing a different tune. Funny how things change.
I'd post new pics, but I don't have any :-\ I'll post some pics from her BABY PICTURES today!
Don't worry about the shots...it's always worse for the mom than it is for the baby. Usually some food right after the shots will make everything better! I think Noah only got 3 shots at his 2 month appointment (it was 4 vaccines, but 2 were mixed together so he only had to get poked 3 times) and then he got one oral vaccine. Then they also get shots at their 4 and 6 month appointments too...but maybe only 2 shots those times. Not so bad, I promise!! :)
