I can't believe it, where has the time gone.
Here she is only 5 days old!
Same outfit only now she is 1.5 months!
Fun because we got her weight and length. She is 10.1 lbs and is in the 72%! Her length is 21.9 in. and she is in the 54%. I thought the percentile for length would of been higher just because she seems so long to me! We were told that she looks extremely healthy and everything seems to be working good for her. We were told though that we could start feeding her an extra ounce now!
I also got to ask a lot of questions. This was the first time we actually got to meet her pediatrician and I really liked her. A lot of my questions probably seemed silly to her, but she answered them and never once made me feel stupid for what I was asking. She took her time with us and never once made us feel like we were wasting her time! Some of the questions I pretty much knew the answer to, but I just felt better hearing it from her. Weird maybe but at the same time I don't care because I need that reassurance!
One of my questions was is she gaining weight to fast? And the answer was no. Most babies lose a little weight after they are born, but not our Izzy! She is a gaining machine! Her doctor reassured us that her weight is proportional to her length and that she looks very healthy! The doctor also told us that you find with babies that are born under 6 lbs that they tend to gain weight faster and that is just because they are catching up. She also said that Izzy could of been a 9 lb baby and that at 2 months old she doesn't weight much more than that, so that I should not worry about, that she is just right! I felt better after hearing this because all I hear from people is how big she is! She seems big to me, but I also saw her when she was born and she was just a little peanut! And she is still our little peanut but she is starting to get rolls and fill out more! Which I am super excited about because I just love baby rolls!
The terrible part was of course the shots! I honestly could never do that job. I have no idea how anyone can do it! I have never seen or heard Izzy cry as hard as she did! It broke my heart and made me sick to my stomach! The nurse was very good and tried to go as fast as he could to get it over with. But it was not fast enough! After the first shot I was ready to pick her up and run away with her as fast as I could! I HATED seeing her hurt! But thankfully Joey was able to be there! I would of gotten through it without him but just having him there made everything so much easier!
After she calmed down from this traumatic experience she was so exhausted. And she slept for 2 hours but than out of the blue she just woke up screaming. She ended up having a minor reaction to one of the shots. Her little leg got all red, swollen, and was very hot to the touch! She screamed for almost 2 hours straight and it was TERRIBLE. I felt so HELPLESS because nothing I would do made it better and it almost seemed like I was hurting her more. But I called the doctor and was told to put a cool compress on her leg and to massage it. And after doing that and giving her some more Tylenol she seemed better!
Overall, it was an emotionally draining day! And I am so not looking forward to the next round of shots! But I have 2 months to try to prepare myself for them!
