2 Month Doctor's Appointment

The girls have reached their two month mark about 4 weeks ago. They were to see the doctors at the beginning of June, but because of their size we were advised to wait a little longer. So here we are on June 22nd, the girls went in for their check up. We knew this was going to be a very eventful day as they were to get their vaccinations. Olivia was first.

We undressed her and took her to the scale. The nurse measured her length at 21.5 inches long and weight of 9 pounds and 14 ounces. We were hoping for 10 pounds, but I would say that was pretty close.

Juliana was next, she also measured 21.5 inches long and weighed in at 9 pounds and 15 ounces. Both girls had a perfect physical. Now for the bad part. Vaccines.

There were two nurses that administered the shots, each girl had two shots in one leg and one shot in the other. To our amazement, they cried for about a minute and then quit and went to sleep. They actually ended up sleeping rest of the day, only waking to eat an ounce of food. It wasn't until the next day that we saw fevers. My heart was crushed to see how miserable they were. They wanted to be held most of the time. They cried when they were awake and when they went to sleep they slept hard. Not fun for our little bambinos.

It has now been two days since their vaccinations and the fevers are gone. We are back to our sleepless nights and many feeding episodes. So glad my little ones smile again.
