Dead Bugs Still Make Babies Sick

Nothing good lasts long … does it? Nothing good in this life, anyway. Here’s my baby with her Valentine’s Day frog and candy.

My calm, sweet-tempered, cheerful, super-active baby got her shots today, FOUR shots, two on each thigh, and underwent a personality change. She’s feverish, scared, screaming, and needy and her arms and legs are limp. I want to cry.

Meanwhile, here are her stats from the pediatrician’s office this morning. She’s gained over an ounce a day for the last two weeks. I’m glad that all that nursing is doing something.

  • head circumference: 38.3 cm (50th percentile)
  • height: 22.25 inches (50th percentile)
  • weight: 9 lb 2 oz (25th percentile)

She’s small for an American baby but way ahead in terms of baby development. She’s not quite two months old yet and is in the fourth month stage [BAK] for everything except recognizing names, laughing when being tickled and the pick me up arm signal.
