On Thursday January 9th Lillian finally had her 2 month well visit, because of Christmas and being sick she didn't get in until she was already 11 weeks old! She is doing wonderfully. The doctor was really impressed at her neck strength (she holds her head up really well) and said she was doing great on all measures.
She got her 2 month vaccinations during this visit as well and she was not happy about it. Because she had been to the doctor so many times the week before she remembered not liking lying on the table so as soon as I set her down she started to cry. And not a little whimper cry, a full-throated, I-don't-like-this-one-bit cry. She brought that up to a world-is-ending cry when the shots came. Happily, she soothed pretty quickly once she was in my arms. I unfortunately couldn't easily nurse to comfort her since she was going in about 15 layers and getting wrapped for a walk home. She spits up so frequently and I couldn't have her spit up on us while we were outside in the super cold. When she got settled in the wrap she fell asleep pretty quickly.
With Simon we were hesitant to give him medications when he was that little and so he was pretty sad and almost feverish before we called the doctor and got permission to give him Tylenol. Because of Simon's febrile seizure the doctor told us not to mess around and just dose Lillian with Tylenol if she seemed like she was getting even a little uncomfortable. As a result the evening was a better one for all involved. She cried a bit, but nursing and snuggling settled her down and she just slept really hard and woke up a happy baby!
We will go back for her 4 month visit in about 5 weeks.
