Poor Baby



Today was Hannah's 2 month check up. We went to Dr. Farr's office at 9am and were quickly called back to the exam room. We got Hannah undressed and took her out to the scale where she was to be measured and weighed. While on the table she tee-teed, which is par for the course, but this time she also spit up everywhere. We felt really bad for the nurse who had to clean it up! Hannah's measurements came in at 10 lbs & 22 1/2 inches, which puts her in the 55th percentile. After that the Dr. came in and we discussed Hannah's formula and got permission to take her swimming! Then poor baby Hannah had to get 5 immunizations. She had 4 shots in the thighs and took one orally. It was by far the worst thing I have ever had to witness. She screamed like I have never heard her scream before, but calmed down when it was all over. She has been a little more fussy than normal today, but the infant Tylenol seems to help her, and puts her to sleep. Dr. Farr also told us that she has acid reflux, and gave us a new medicine to give her to help with the spitting up and fussiness after she eats. So far, it has not really worked, but maybe it takes a few days to start working. Hopefully, Hannah will be feeling better tomorrow, as this is our last week together before I go back to work!
