Macy at 7 pounds 8 ounces, 19 1/2 inches long, 10 minutes old.
Macy at 10 pounds 15 ounces, 24 inches long, 2 months old.
Macy at 1 month.
Macy at 2 months.Pretty impressive growth, eh? We went to the doctor's office today and Macy is in the 95 %tile for height, 50 %tile for weight, and her head circumference is in the 75 %tile.
She also had her first shots. She has never cried so hard-- so hard that it made me cry. The nurse gave her the shot while I held her and she looked at me as if to ask "Why are you letting this happen?" I had let someone hurt her-- and then I let it happen again! She cried, but it didn't seem like it was because of the pain. It felt like she was crying because I had betrayed her. This might have been my hardest day as a mom so far. It took a little time, but she did stop crying and I think we will be able to work through the residual trust issues. I guess only time will tell. But I think we already agree that being 2 months old is not easy.

Mary,
I hated my babies having to get their shots. I always gave you tylenol beforehand so it was less painful. I also tried to explain what was happening.
She is doing so well! I am proud of all of you.
Mom
I always made David hold my babies for their shots. Granted, he worked at the hospital, so usually he was already there, but I hated having them give me that look of betrayal. Macy is darling! I'm so glad you are enjoying her.
