3 shots + 2 bandaids = 1 unhappy girl...

Yeah, I never was one for math... but that's how it adds up!
Peyton had her 2 month check-up and immunizations yesterday...
A pic from before:
and after...
She had the Rhototec immunization too. What with Lynn taking her trips out of our nest and exposing us more and more to the outside world, we thought we ought to. It does save us a two week hospital stay if she were to get the Rhotovirus. Nasty!
The good Doc. (although Mer doesn't like him...) was surprised at her strength. She holds her head and torso up really well. He commented that most babies aren't that strong till they are 4 or 5 months old. Everything else was right on!
11 pounds 14 ounces
23 inches long now
Now if we could only get her to want a bink instead of me!
She had a rough day yesterday, even before the appointment. She wouldn't take a good nap. She seriously slept a total of maybe an hour yesterday! Forget the idea of a nap after the appointment unless I was constantly holding her... I got her to sleep around 11 and then she woke up a little after midnight. We were snuggling and so comfy, she was nursing and sleeping, then around 3:30 am (that has always been "our time" even before she was born...) she was grunting, fussing a little. She was warm so I took her temp., 102.5... I gave her meds and we went downstairs to snuggle more, I needed some TV to get me out again. To my pleasure, "Yentl" was in the free movie section. I love the music, mom used to listen to it when I was little.
Now Pey sleeps... going since nearly 10 now...
I am thankful to a mother-in-law who brought Lynn home from pre-school so I wouldn't have to disturb Peyton's wonderful nap... thanks Darlene!
The weather was so nice yesterday... our house got to 72... we walked to check on the Kitties... no kittens...

And now there are flurries! Weird...
