She did so well. I took her beloved Flo with us and it kept her very distracted until the lady stuck her thigh...then again, and AGAIN!! Man, that can't feel good. And the needles are LONG! Her face went from happily watching Flo to beet red and screaming in seconds. Luckily, the nurse was really fast and I could scoop her up and calm her down quickly.
I also learned from the last round to give your baby Tylenol before the shots and keep it going for a few doses to keep the cranky baby at bay. She gave us a few minutes of fits this afternoon but has been her happy self and we've just hung out at home today. SOOO much better than last time. She was so uncomfortable last time she would just cry and cry and wouldn't eat or sleep...it was hard. So today was great in comparison. Maybe tonight will be great too! Who knows, maybe this round will reverse her back to her old sleeping self! (I can dream can't I!!?...actually...I can't really get a dream in with hour long sleep...hmph!)
She weighed 2 ounces shy of 16 pounds at 4 1/2 months. She's starting to balance out and dropped from the 99th percentile down to the 80th. Another naked picture for you. I can't help myself. It makes me laugh so much that she won't grab her feet with pants on, but the pants come off and the feet go up. She had all the nurses laughing today. It was pretty cute.
We just chilled at home today and played on the floor together. I'm finding all those annoying girl's camp songs are coming in quite handy these days...
Look at those poor scrumptious thighs! Two shots on one leg and one on the other. Poor thing. And those darn band-aids are sticky too! She doesn't seem bothered by them though!
