Lily's 2 Month Doctor's Visit

Lily turned 2 months on Monday! I can hardly believe how big she's getting. I took her to the doctor for her 2 month vaccines. They weighed her and she's 12lbs. 1 oz. and she's 22.25 inches (compared to the 7lbs. 8oz. and 19 inches when she was born!). The doctor said that she is normal for her length and ABOVE normal for weight. Looks like momma's milk is doing it's job ;o) I asked the doctor if it was ok and what it means to be "above normal", he said it was fine and that she's just one pound over the average and that all it means is that I have a "gordita", hahaha...my little gordita!

After weigh in she got her immunizations, 3 shots and one oral. It was so heartbreaking! She was happy as a clam when they were giving her the oral one, I'm guessing it was sweet. She was all smiles, being her usual cute self, and then BAM!!! the nurse stabbed the needle into her thigh (I'm being dramatic). She got 2 in one leg and honestly those weren't that bad. She did cry, but got over it right away. It was the final one that must have really hurt...even I cried! She did the silent cry for like 5 whole seconds then let out the loudest scream and then a cry. She cried for a while afterwards too. That's when I cried. Once she got over it she was back to her normal self. She never got a fever and slept like she usually does.



In other news, I scheduled her baptism! Lily will be baptized early in October. No details on the web since the page is public and I don't want any creeper/kidnappers showing up! Invitations will be sent out ASAP. I honestly don't know when I would have gotten around to it if my friend Jill hadn't done it. When she told me Braden was being baptized and that they did 6 per mass I thought it would be nice for us to do it together. Jill and I were pregnant together and our babies are exactly one week apart. We picked Benny and Therese as god parents. Therese, Benny, Adam, and I will be attending classes in September to prepare us for the Baptism. I'm really excited about this! There are a lot of people who haven't gotten a chance to see/meet Lily and this will be a great opportunity. She truly is such a blessing, I want everyone to have the "Lily Experience"!
