Today we went to see the Dr. for Zeleta's 2 month checkup and the start of her childhood immunizations. Here she is all bundled up to face the below freezing outdoors.
I LOVE our doctor, Chris Burk. She is the best! She takes the time to talk to us, to talk to Zeleta (she told Zeleta that she would grow up to be a strong woman), and loves her job. Zeleta weighed 11 pounds 12 ounces. Then came to hard part....the shots. Well....hard for Jeremy. The nurse came in and asked who would help her hold Zeleta. Jeremy was standing right next to Z and had a look of "I'll do it" for a split second and then a look of "I DON'T want to"! I told him to watch and that I would do it. Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief. Working in the lab I have no problem holding down Zeleta because it is better when a parent holds their child tight so they don't move so the stick is quick and the arm (or leg in this case) is stable. Zeleta did just what I thought she would. Happy, got stuck, waited two seconds, cried (loudly! that doesn't happen often), then I quickly nursed her and she was happy again. Next check up will be when she is 4 months.
What a trooper! Band aids for her boo-boos.
Wow, she is growing fast!
