Emmelyn had her 2-month checkup at Dr. Morgan's office on Oct. 13. She is a growing girl, weighing in at 11 pounds, 10.5 ounces. Any worries about her being small after being born at 37 weeks have been officially wiped out. She went from being in the 10th percentile for weight to the 75th! She now is 22.5 inches long, up from 19.5 inches at birth. Her height puts her in the 50th percentile. I forget what her head circumference was, but she is developing just fine in that area.
Em did not enjoy her shots. Not only did she have to get poked with a needle, but the room was cold and it was time to eat --the combination that turns our sweet Emmelyn into a crabby monster. Once she had a bottle, she was OK, but later in the evening she had her first fever and was very fussy. The doctor said that is normal. She had some baby pain reliever and today is doing better, but has been very sleepy after being up so much of the night crying.
We're getting a few more smiles each day, but they are hard to catch on camera. Here are a few attempts.
Oh my goodness....love these normal size girls!!!! She looks so much smaller that 10 lbs in pictures! So cute! We learned after Lucas' 2 months shots to give him tylenol when leaving the house on the way to the appointment. I would highly recommend it as it worked wonders for future appointments with shots :)
