Whew, it was an exhausting morning! I had Libby Kate's 2 month check up (and immunizations) this morning, and Mer had Around the World day at school. She was dressed as a girl from Hawaii.
While trying to get out the door this morning I told Mer we needed to hurry because I was going to be late getting Libby to her doctor's appointment. Mer asked if they were going to give Libby Kate a shot and I said yes, and she started bawling! "Nooo, I don't want them to hurt my sweet angel baby!!" She was SO upset and crying real tears for her baby sister. Before getting in to school, she said a prayer that Libby Kate would be ok and feel better. I am just in love with what a great big sister she is and find it so sweet that she always calls Libby her "sweet angel baby."
Libby weighed 12 lbs, 10 oz at her appointment today and was 23.5 inches long. For comparison, Mer was 11 lbs, 2 oz and 22.25 inches long at her 2 mos appointment. We were about two weeks late on this one, but I think Libby is still a little bigger than Mer was.
I am always nervous about reactions to the immunizations with the girls, but Libby received all three injections recommended and the oral rotavirus vaccine and has done alright so far. She is snuggled up asleep on me right now, and I'm just praying she doesn't run a fever. I tried to give her Tylenol before she went to sleep, but of the half teaspoon dose, I'm positive she couldn't have swallowed even half of it...you know, just based on the red stains all over her hands, face, and burp rag :)
