Baby's 8 week Immunizations: Spread Them Out

I asked the pediatrician if we could spread out her shots so she wouldn't be triple slammed in one go - a bit too much for her tiny body to take, in my opinion. So today Meili got her Dtap and Hep B in her thigh. And peppermint flavored rotavirus in her mouth. 

She didn't cry too much, surprisingly. My boob pacified her quite easily. 

She's 24 inches long - a whole two inches in the last month - which puts her in the 97th percentile for length. And her weight is 10 lbs, which is 12 ounces over two weeks. An ounce a day!

 

After that traumatic experience, we went for some retail therapy at Walmart and Goodwill.

(Meili was passed out the rest of the day and super fussy that evening. She went to bed early and slept mostly through with fits of crying. Also ran a temperature for a few hours but was back to normal by morning.)
