2nd Month Pediatrician Visit

Annika now weighs 10 lbs 7 oz and is 22.5 inches long. I'm starting to think that she's just going to stay little and petite, which is better for a little girl than being a tank, I suppose.

Dr. Qader says she's right on track, and is hitting all the milestones that she should. He's not worried about reflux, because she's not losing weight. He said to just make her take breaks during meals, even though she gets mad, it will help to keep it down. He said that if we're really concerned he can do a test to monitor her acid levels, but we would have to have a tube put down her throat for a night, then if needed he could give us an antacid, but we'd have to do the whole thing over again a few months later to see if it was helping. I opted not to jam a tub down her little throat, since he's not worried.

She had to get her first vaccines today, and that didn't make her too happy. She took her oral vaccine just fine, and was laying there watching the nurse, starting to doze a little, when the nurse poked her with the first needle, there were 3 of them. Poor little Mei Mei. Her eyes got huge and she held her breath for half a second, looked at me like "what did you just let her do to me?!" then turned bright red and screamed. She only cried for a few minutes, then whimpered for a few more, then fell asleep in the car and has been sleeping for the past 3 hours. I'm going to wake her up to play, so hopefully she'll sleep for us tonight like she did last night.
