Love Without Borders

2 Month Checkup

So Alana is two months old today!  She had her pediatrician checkup at 2:00pm.  She is growing well and weighs 7 lbs 13 oz, is 22 inches long, and has a head circumference of 36 cm.  I can definitely see and feel her getting chunkier as I am holding her.  She also received her two month shots at her appointment as well. 

  DTaP: Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine

  Hib: Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine

  IPV: Inactivated poliovirus vaccine

  Hep B: Hepatitis B vaccine (HBV)

  PCV: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

                                

She was so brave, getting three shots in one thigh and two in the other.  She only cried during the shots for 1-2 minutes, but quickly calmed down with a cuddle.  I’m proud of myself too for the fact that I didn’t start crying seeing her get her shots! She slept for a long time after her shots and didn’t even have “fussy time” like we call it from 6pm-9pm like she normally does.  Her next checkup is at 4 months of age.
