She was her usual happy self when we arrived at the doctor's office. I wish I could say the same for after we left...and for the rest of the day too. After she got her shots, we could tell that she was in pain. She only cried until I picked her up and held her; then she fell asleep. But after she woke back up...she screamed and screamed and screamed. Poor thing! Her legs were very warm to the touch and whenever we moved her, she'd cry and whimper. Made me so sad to see her like that :( As suggested, we gave her some infant acetaminophen, and that seemed to help a bit. She didn't get a fever until today, and still it wasn't too bad-- 99.6 degrees. Thankfully she's feeling better and going back to her usual cheerful and smiling self.
Anyways, her doctor said that Abbie is doing great! She's growing fast, which is typical for breastfed babies. She now weighs 12 pounds 5 ounces, which puts her in the 75%ile for her age. She is now also 23.75 inches long (wow!), which puts her in the 90 %ile. Her head circumference is 40.5 centimeters which is also in the 90 %ile. The doctor also checked her developing muscle tone and was very pleased. She said Abbie's arms and legs were very strong. Her next appointment will be when she's 4 months.
