Today Zoë has her 2 month well visit. We're actually dreading this visit because it will be the first time she gets shots other than when she was born and received the hepB shot.
Check-in was swift as always.
She now weighs 9lbs 13oz, is 22 inches long and seems to be all around healthy.
And now time for the worst part of the visit. Vaccinations. UGH! She was happy and cooing right before too.
First was the oral meds. I carried her while the nurse squeezed it in her mouth. She tried to spit some out. Hahaha. And totally made the stank face several times.
And then, it was time. :( The nurse had me lay her down on the table with her legs by the nurse. I held her little hands and tried to get her to focus on my face only. I talked to her and tried to comfort her as best as I could. She was pricked the first time and she screamed out in agony. It was so so sad. The second shot was on the same leg, but she didn't seem to cry any louder. I don't think she even cried as much as the first, although it was still pretty bad. And then came the third and final prick. This was done on the opposite leg and hurt the worst out of all three. She cried out in a way I've never heard before. I felt so bad for her and teared up a bit as she cried and cried and cried. The nurse cleaned up quickly and once she left us I fed Zoë immediately. The Dr said that breast feeding will definitely help soothe her. It totally did. She still had sad eyes, but she was no longer crying. Poor thing.
Ahhhh.. and there's still 4 more doses of shots left.
