Lexie's 2 Month Checkup

Lexie's checkup went well. She now weighs 11 lbs 13 oz, which puts her in the 75th percentile for weight (and head size). She's 20.75" long, which is the 25th percentile. She enjoyed cooing and smiling at the nurse and doctor today while they examined her.

She's very healthy except for 2 things: her left tear duct is blocked and infected; and it appears she may have acid reflux. She still screams a bit each day, usually during or right after eating. She pops off while nursing and cries periodically. And when she spits up or gets the hiccups she cries as if it hurts her. The Nurse Practioner said those are both symptoms of reflux, so she'll be taking zantac 3times a day.

She screamed like mad during her shots, but quickly settled down. The binky helped, and she promptly went to sleep in her car seat. In fact, it's been over almost 3 hours since her shots and she's still sleeping. I believe that Luke slept 4 hours after his first set of shots, then woke up screaming with one of his legs all red. I had to keep giving him tyenol every 4 hours to ease his pain.

Please pray that she'll be okay and won't have any reactions or side effects from all the vaccines. One blessing is that she's really sleeping better at night. She's been sleeping 11-7 with only one nightime feeding around 3 or 4 am. I can deal with that!
