First Shots

Thursday, K-Mac had to visit the doc.  She weighs TEN POUNDS and 4 ounces.  Holy smokes!  She's also 22.05 inches tall now.  Maybe she'll be tall like her daddy.  We were concerned that she wasn't getting enough to eat so we talked to her doctor about that.  Sounds like we'll be starting solids when she's four months so hopefully she'll mellow out with the growing thing until then.  We also have two confirmed TEETH.  Yes.  TEETH.  But they haven't cut through yet (thank goodness). 

Her vaccines started with Polio, which is ingested in a little tube.  Kyra enjoyed it.  I don't understand.  But apparently it was tasty because she smacked her lips and did her "more please" cry when the nurse took away the empty tube. 

Next up were the three shots that went into her thighs.  She didn't cry for the first one (DTaP- which is for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) but as soon as they stuck her with two and three...ugh.  She screamed.  But we are now vaccinated for pneumococcal disease, rotavirus, and hib.  Afterwards I fed her and she passed out. 

She didn't have a problem for the rest of the day, which was something I was nervous about, considering I went back to work (woo hoo) on Friday.

Leaving the doctor!
