Well, Miss Carrie is 8 weeks old tomorrow, and we just can't believe it! We had our 2 month check-up on Monday, which was accompanied by our first round of vaccinations. She got 3 shots - one in one leg, and two in the other. I worry about her getting all that medicine all at once - I think the shots covered about 7 or 8 different diseases - but I know it's better than her getting any of those diseases later on. She was obviously NOT happy at all about the shots, but stopped crying pretty quickly. Mommy, on the other hand, pretty much cried from the beginning of the visit (before the shots even came into the room), till she got out of the office. :) And she has to get shots at every visit between now and 18 months. Not fun.
She did get weighed...10 pounds, 7 ounces! We have ourselves a little porker, but that's good at this stage. She's in the 50% percentile for her weight, so that's good. She's also grown some in length. She's now 21 and 3/4 inches. We're already putting away clothes that she's grown out of. It seems impossible that she's grown out of clothes already...
We went back to Shands today to have an ultrasound done on her hips. This was due to the fact that the little stinker was breech when she was born (guess it was a good thing we were already planning a c-section!). I'm happy to report that all is fine, and we have no worries with her hips.
Carrie spent about 2.5 hours yesterday with our nanny. This is a nervewracking experience for me, but the best option at this point. Jerry and I really like her (Miss Haley); she'll be here Monday, Wednesday and Friday when I go back to work. Right now she's just coming over while I'm here to get familiar with Carrie and vice versa. We are planning on trying an actual date night next weekend...stay tuned to hear how it goes.
Other than that, we're just moving right along! I have 4.5 more weeks of leave left. Trying not to think about it right now :)
