Doctor Appointment

Today Megan had her 2 month appointment and it went great! Dr. Rodgers said to keep doing what we have been doing because Megan is doing great! She is now 23 1/2 inches. She was 20 inches when she was born. Her height puts her in the 90th percentile. Seems she is gonna be tall like her Daddy! Thank goodness!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she continues to grow in height the way she has been! She now weights 11 pounds 12 ounces! She was 8 pounds 4 ounces when she was born. Her weight puts her in the 75th percentile. I was worried that she didn't weight enough for her age because all of the kids on the What to Expect February board that I follow are around 14 and 15 pounds. With the exception of a few! So I am very happy with her height and weight!!!!!!!

She also got her shots today :( I felt so bad for her!! She was already a little upset from having her hips checked and everything else she had checked. Plus she was hungry! She screamed but not as loud as she can when she got her 3 shots. Then she sucked down the oral vaccine quickly because she was hungry. She fussed for a little bit after that until she got her bottle then she was quiet happy!! Within eating two ounces and riding in the car she was out. This was around 11 o'clock it is now 2 and she is still sleeping!

She is starting to sleep through the night now! I am just ready for it to be consistant! hahaha Sometimes she sleeps from around 12pm after her feeding to around 3, sometimes 12-4 or 5, she has been known to go until 6 or 7. There have been a few rare times she feel asleep around 11, but most of the time 12-1. Its crazy! I guess I need to get her on a schedule! I have been letting her do what she wants with sleeping and eating. Her eating is the same way! All over the place! There are times she will eat 7 ounces, then sometimes 4, then sometimes only 2. I wish she would be consistent in her amounts because fixing too much I waste formula or fixing to little I am constantly getting up to fix more! Ahhhh!

This weekend is going to be Megans 1st over night visit to her Grandparents house for Easter :) I know they are excited to see Megan and watching my brother and sister with her is great! You would think she is their child and not mine hahaha :) I will report how her first visit goes! Also, I start back to work next Tuesday :( I keep telling myself its only for 8 weeks then I will be home for 3 months. I am glad she will be staying home with Brian or other family members during that time! She will be where she is comfortable and with people she knows! Also, not around other kids and their diseases until she is old enough to handle it! I will make it through the next 8 weeks some how :(

Go Megan!!!! Sounds like everything went really well at her appointment. Oh the fun of going for shots haha! Im taking Noah on Monday for his and trust me, it gets so much worse. He knows what hes going for and you have to practically lay on him for his! LOL Megan and Juliana were about the same weight at their 2 month checkups. I think she was only 21 OR 22 inches though LOL. Cant wait to see her again!
