2 Month Doctor Visit

Paige is 2 months old today!! We went to the doctor for her two month checkup! She now weighs 10lbs and 9oz (She gained a half ounce since yesterday!) and she is 24.5 inches long. She was 20.5 inches when she was born, so she has grown 4 inches...we are so amazed!! She is in the 100th percentile for her length and 50th for her weight.

Dr. Marx said that her hip looks good (Yea!). She can still feel the loose ligament a bit, but she expects it to be lax a little while longer. This is very normal for babies, since the Relaxin hormone that moms have during pregnancy carries over to babies in utero.

Paige also got some immunizations today. She got three shots and had to drink one oral immunization. She was a real trooper! She didn't cry until the second shot, and she calmed down pretty quickly afterward. We gave her Tylenol for 24 hours, and she was only a little fussy throughout the rest of the day and evening. She did sleep a bit more too. In this picture she is snoozing cozily on her daddy, and you can see one of her pink bandages on her thigh...so cute!!!
