Doctors Appointment, Unhappy Baby

Ahh, the dual-edged sword that is the 2 month doctor's visit. We were both so excited to see how much Violet has grown, but at the same time we were a bit nervous about the round of vaccinations she was to receive. First, the good news. Violet is weighing in at a healthy 10 lbs 13 oz, and has grown to 22 1/2". So in the last 2 months she's gained 3 lbs 12 oz, and 2 1/2"! Now, the bad news. She's been running a fever the last day and cried/screamed pretty much all last night. Side effects are a mutha. I was so worried about the actual shots she was to receive, that I completely overlooked the side effects of the shots. Apparently this is normal, but it's sooooo hard to see her unhappy and uncomfortable without being able to do anything about it.

She's doing MUCH better now. Last night when I got home from work she seemed a lot more comfortable and I actually got some smiles out of her. Looks like the worst of it is over.

Good. It usually only lasts a couple of days. I literally just got done with Nathans last round of shots (18 months) when I had Madelynn and had to start them all over again. You feel so helpless and you just feel so bad for them because they look at you like "why did you let them do that!"
