Kate had her first set of shots on Tuesday at the doctor. The good news is that she is still growing and is now 12 lbs 11 oz and 24.5 in long. At her 1 month appointment she was 11 lbs and 23 in. The shots were pretty awful but she did ok. I was talking to her and she was happy and smiling and then the nurse stuck her with the 1st of the 3 shots. She looked at me and just screamed. It broke my heart that she was looking at me like I should help her. After the shots she cried for a while and then fell asleep on the way home. We gave her baby Tylenol and she was pretty fussy all evening. She finally fell asleep in her swing at 10 pm and I slept on the couch so she could sleep there all night. She slept from 10-6:30 then woke up smiling. I fed her and she took another nap until 9:30. She seems to be eating fine and feeling ok today.
She has to get more shots in 2 months--maybe Daddy will take her this time....
Here's some pictures of Kate before her shots doing one of her favorite activities, sucking on her hand.
