Hannah is 2 months old today!

I took her for her 2 month checkup today, and it went well - up until the shots part of the visit! She weighs 11lbs 5oz, and is 23" long. She is in the 25-50th percentile for weight and the 90th for her length!!! Maybe she is going to be tall and lean like her daddy!! She was so happy for the doctor, cooing and smiling and twisting around, just being overall happy. They gave her the oral Rotateq vaccine, and she loved it. Next came the shots and she never saw it coming. It broke my heart before she ever got the first shot, and I was in tears for her. Needless to say she was full blown mad, and wanted nothing to do with her bottle for a few minutes. She eventually took it and then let me dress her. I've kept her dosed up on Tylenol and will through the morning. We'll see how she's doing after that. She goes back at 4 months for the same group of shots, and I dread it already. Adam survived them all, so I guess she will too. I just hate knowing that she can't understand why she's having to go through this pain, and that I'm the one "letting" it happen. I'm just glad that I'm not the one that has to give them to her! I don't know that I could do it!

My time off is all but up now. I go back to work on Tuesday, and it's going to be here before I know it. This time off has really flown by. I knew it would though - it did with Adam. Now I'm planning his 3rd birthday party, and that just doesn't seem possible. I'm going to enjoy every minute that Hannah is little and soak it all in. I'll never go down this road again, so it's bittersweet for me. Some days I wish I could just freeze time, but I guess that wouldn't be fair to them. They have got so many fun things ahead of them, as well as challenges. I hope and pray that they keep their innocence for as long as possible. I want them to always remain "childlike", especially with their trust and faith.

I loved this update it was so sweet about wanting to "freeze" time, I know what you mean, I am already planning for Aiden's 1st Birthday, wow so hard to believe!! I DO NOT like the "shot" part when they go to the Dr, I loved his 9 month check up no shots, but then they are back at his 1 year check up. I guess we need to think about the shots in a good way, that we are trying to protect our little ones, still doesn't make it any easier though. Well take care and enjoy your last few days with your babies!
Love and Hugs
