On Friday, March 14th, Sonia went to the pediatrician to have her two month check-up. She has gained 4 lbs., 9 oz. since she was born and is 2.5 inches longer (this equates to her being 12 lbs. and 23 1/4 inches long). The nurse said that her weight is in the 75th percentile, her head circumference is in the 50th percentile and her height is in the 90th percentile for children her age. All was going fine for Sonia until it was time for the nurse to poke her thrice with needles for vaccinations. Poor little girl...definately not one of Mommy's favorite moments either.
The doctor said she could be irritable for the next 48 hours. The first hours were the worst, and the three Bugs Bunny Band Aids were of little consolation to her. Later that day, she took a long nap, and while not totally back to her sweet, carefree self, I have confidence that the worst is behind us - at least until the next doctor's visit.
