Caroline is 8 weeks old today! It was a big day as she had her 2 month check-up. Praise the Lord for a healthy, growing baby!
She is still on the smaller side but she is growing appropriately with no concerns. She must take after her Aunt MC! Dainty, precious and sweet as sugar. She weighs 9 lb 8 oz and will NOT keep her arms by her side :)
She is 21 3/4 inches long.
Her heart and lungs sounded perfect!
She doesn't really like when anyone messes with her face. Whenever I clean her nose or put headbands on her she utilizes her little lungs to their full capacity. To say that she didn't like when the doctor looked in her eyes, ears, and mouth is a big ole' understatement (insert really angry face).
After her exam with the doctor she got a pep talk from Dad about the shots that were coming. He told her the pain would only last for a few seconds and that if she didn't cry we would reward her with ice cream....I'm pretty sure he was secretly talking to me. When the nurse walked in with the shots Mommy had to step out of the room. I worked in the ICU as a nurse at Chilrden's Hospital for 3 years and took care of the sickest, most precious kids but couldn't even be in the same room when my baby got her shots. Call me a wimp, but my heart just couldn't handle it.
Post shot exhaustion.....She was such a trooper!
It was a successful trip to the doctor, but I am very glad that it is over! Now we are home giving lots of snuggles and love to our healthy baby girl.
Happy 8 Weeks Caroline Cate! We love you!
