Today was C’s 8 month appointment. I brought E in too because she’s had a cough & stomach ache for a few days. So might as well knock out 2 at the same time.
C seemed long but it appears he’s pretty much average, except for his big head which I actually though wasn’t that big. It’s more long than round whereas Ellie was always up in the 90th percentile with her big ole head.
Length – 27.5 in ~ 50%
Weight – 17.4 lbs ~ 25%
Head – 18 cm ~ 75%
He was smiling away until she started to listen to his breathing. He didn’t start to cry but you could tell it was only a matter of time. Then came the shots. He’s not a big fan, but what kid would be. Poor guy. They’re for his own good, right? Cari hated seeing them in pain. She felt so sorry for the little one. I don’t let it bother me so much. All the crying kind of just blends together anyways.
E is at 29 lbs but since it wasn’t her official appointment we didn’t get a percentage for her. Probably somewhere in the middle I would guess. And they also said there’s nothing we can give her because it doesn’t seem like much of an issue. Maybe some yogurt will push it out of her system. Good luck getting anything into her mouth except for the usual. I have to start giving her more vitamins though. I try to do it every day but it doesn’t always happen.
She wasn’t a big fan of leaving for the dr today. It wasn’t the dr’s office so much, it was just a matter of getting into the car. So she cried most of the way. Thankfully the office is only a few miles down the road. When we got there she was asking if she could get a shot. I highly doubt she knew exactly what that involved. She didn’t get one of course but it was crazy to hear her ask for one.
