Two Month Checkup

Mom and I took Tinsley for her 2 month checkup today.  She is doing great!  She weighs 12 lbs 6 oz and is 24 inches long.  Her head circumference is 16".  She is in the 86th percentile on both weight and height and the 82nd percentile on her head circumference. We are so thankful to have such a healthy little girl!  We discussed the fact that she is so congested with the doctor as well as the projectile vomiting and the tendency for her skin to be so sensitive.  The doctor seems to think that the congestion is related to a little bit of reflux.  She suggested that we try a new formula that is out that has rice cereal in it as she thinks that may help to settle her stomach which would in turn help the reflux, which she thinks will help the congestion.  She sent us home with a sample, so we will try it out.  I am still having trouble with the idea of giving her formula.  She has been doing so good with the breast milk.  So, we will have to see how it all works out.  Tinsley was such a little trooper- she got her ears pierced and got 3 shots!  They pierced her ears first and then gave her the shots.  Mom held her while they pierced her ears.  I just couldn't do it.  I am not fond of needles at all and have a bit of a tendency to get a little bit woozy.  It is a good thing that mom was there or else I swear Tinsley might just have one ear pierced.  She got really upset.  We got to hear a brand new scream out of her that we had not heard before.  She was SUPER MAD!!!!  She has been doing great this evening.  We gave her tylenol right before she had the shots and she had some more this evening.  She was a little bit fussy this evening, but so far she has not had any fever.  I am so glad that today is behind us.  She looks so sweet with the earrings.  I am including a picture from today after we left the doctors office.  It is a little bit fuzzy as it was taken with my camera phone.  Mom had Tinsley calmed down and asleep before we even left the parking lot of the doctors office.  It was so sad- she got so upset that she was still sobbing in her sleep for a little while after.  She is so sweet, we hate to see her upset.  I am already dreading the 4 month shots :-(
