We had Audrey's 2 month check up last Friday, which resulted in a clean bill of health. She had a little crying fit as soon as the doctor came in, but did get settled down once the poking and prodding was over. Little did she knkow the worst was yet to come...this visit was also vaccination heavy, with 4 different vaccinations involved. Thankfully they have engineered a single shot that provides multiple vaccines, so instead of 4 separate shots she only had to endure 2. Aside from some shock and initial unpleasantness, she settled down as soon as Theresa picked her up. The nurse was super-quick, a trait we both greatly appreciated. And she got a couple of sweet band aids out of the deal.
The good news is that Audrey is growing on pace. The doctor has her at the 75th percentile in terms of her current trajectory, so that's all we can really ask for at this point. The measurements are:
Weight: 11 lbs, 10.5 oz. (up from 9 lbs., 14 oz.)
Height: 23 in. (was 21.5 in.)
We're also in the process of trying to transition her to formula. We have about 2 months of breastmilk stored up currently, and Theresa is growing weary of being tied to the pump 5 times a day, especially in the middle of the night. So far it's been going well, although we were only using about 1 oz. of formula compared to 5 oz. of breastmilk. We upped that to 2 oz/4 oz yesterday, with no ill-effects (knock on wood). Formula may be more expensive, but we're hoping it also proves to be much more convenient.
