We discovered some interesting things about our daughter when we went to get her two month innoculations. First, she doesn't like shots. Or rather she doesn't like being held down and given a needle. I know what that's like, and I don't mean getting baby shots, but I could definitely understand her discontent when she started wailing! I held her before, during, and after the shots, so Caitlin was very grateful that I was able to do a split shift and be there for the shots. Made for a long day, but it worked out in the end.
This picture I took a couple of minutes before she was pumped up with dead viruses. She is not our exactly our teeny-weeny-Rini any more, but she's still small on the average scale. For her age, she's in the tenth percentile for weight with a bulk of 10lbs 3oz or 4.61kg. Also she measures 21.5" or 55cm long, which puts her in the fifteenth percentile for length. Oddly enough, her overall size was just under the fiftieth percentile. Yeah, I don't get it either. The plots kind of had a logarithm look to them, but other than that, I don't know when the chart was made or where the data was gathered from.
I almost thought that they gave her a tranquilizer since she dropped off so fast, but babies don't get tranqued and the nurse gave her a DPTP (diptheria-tetanus-pertussis(whooping cough)-polio) shot, menigingococcal shot and pneumococal shot. That last one stung but good.
Little did I know she was just checking her eyelids for holes. There wasn't any fussing, and the only time she seemed to have any reaction was when she was screaming after the shots, and her whole body was red. I think the vein on her forehead was standing out too, so the nurse didn't consider it an allergic reaction.
In case you're wondering, yes, the smiley face has devil tips on the ends of his smile. The caption is "Lead me not to temptation, I can find it myself." There is a reason the company that makes the shirt is called Walking Time Bomb. :P
