2 months old

Evelyn is just two days shy of two months old (or 8w 3d). Earlier today we had her 2 month check up. She's now 11lbs 8oz, 22.75 in long, with a 15.25 in head.

Dr. S did say that she has a slight problem with her neck muscles pulling her head to the right but that it should resolve itself. Extra tummy time will help it go away quicker. She did a great job tracking his hand a full 180 degrees (fully right to left) which is what assured him that her problem was minimal. If for some reason it doesn't go away, physical therapy will be considered.

Then came what I had been dreading most...shots! In the hospital I bawled while she screamed during her blood draw so I wasn't looking forward to the cries that were sure to follow her shots today. Shaun, in true fashion, couldn't stop himself from laughing as Evie's face turned bright red and an ear piercing cry followed her silent shaking within moments of the second shot (the nurse being quick enough that the first shot didn't have time to register). I managed to do well until discovering my soothing efforts weren't having the calming effect I wanted to provide her. Thankfully, after calming her down enough to nurse, she settled in and became her normal relaxed self. She's been sleeping ever since.

Overall, things went very well today and we have a happy, healthy, growing baby!
