Annabel gives us a smile before we leave for her doctor's appointment!
She's tracking normally, and as a matter of fact, the doctor even said that she's pushing her legs like a four-month old! Today was also the day that she received a battery of immunizations. I was quite the nervous Mommy, but Chris was there to provide support. She got one shot for her one month appointment, and that was stressful enough (more so for me than for Annabel). This time, she got FIVE shots!
She jumped a little and whined during the first two shots, the third one kind of made her mad, and the last two really got her going! Thankfully, the nurse was super quick and Chris picked her up and she stopped crying almost immediately. I gotta say, I love the staff at her pediatrician's office.
Annabel gets a kiss from Daddy after her shots.
She did pretty well for the rest of the day. I didn't end up giving her the infant Tylenol until later in the afternoon after tummy time when she had a tiny bit of fever. Plus, her crying was a little more intense than usual, so I could tell she was uncomfortable. One little dose of the Tylenol and she was out like a light. She woke up a little while later and was her usual cheery self. We even met up with some friends for dinner at Gordon Biersch! She was awake at first to say "hi" to everyone, and then fell asleep again.
Speaking of sleep, we've started a little bedtime routine... and it's aaaalllll Daddy. We figured since Mommy gets to spend all day with her, Daddy can do the bedtime routine. However, this will probably change when I go back to work, and we'll share the bedtime routine. So for now, it's bottle, then diaper change, then three books, then swaddle, then sleep! Last night she slept for TEN HOURS. It was about seven hours the night before that. Yaaay! I know it's only been two nights, but it looks like we have a pretty good sleeper on our hands!
OK seriously, I'll get around to the child care conversation one of these days... in the meantime, Annabel wants to say "Welcome Home!" to her twin friends, Emma and Chloe, from childbirthing class. She hopes that they are as good for her parents as she has been for us.
