Can you say 9 lbs 15 ounces..... 23 1/2 inches long?????? Yupp, that is what she measured on Monday at her 2 month check up! She is in the 25% for her weight and 75% (!!!!) for her height! She is one tall slender little precious!
She also got half of her 2 month immunizations. Stephen and I did not want her to get all her immunizations at once, so she got half on Monday and we go back next month to get the other half. The doctor said she is doing very good. It was funny, when the nurse began talking about giving Joslyn her shots, Joslyn went from a happy loving girl in her daddy's arms to a screaming scared baby as soon as the nurse said "shots". I told the nurse that Joslyn is very smart and the nurse said "Next time I will spell it out." It was very funny. Over all she did well getting her immunizations. She did scream right as the nurse put the needle in her leg but she recovered very quickly. Within minutes she feel back asleep. I cried (and I think I saw a tear in Stephen's eyes as well), but we made it through.
At her GI Specialist appointment the next day..... Dr. Lui took her off of Zantax and put her on Prevacid. He wrote a prescription for a Reflux Sleeping wedge... we just have to find one where our insurance company will pay for it.
He was happy we took her off of the Reglan, and seemed pleased with how we handle her episodes. He said to continue to handle them the way we are, keep her elevated 30 minutes after each feeding, and to give her Maalox when she has an episode during nursing.
All in all, it was a good visit. (They weighed her there as well and she was just over 10 lbs... but she had just nursed before we walked in! She is our sack of potatoes! hehe) We go back to Dr. Lui in 3 months.
We are hoping the Prevacid will work well for her... as we hear really good things about that medicine.... Grandpa is on it for his Reflux! Isn't that sweet?? They share the same medicine!!!
On another good note.... Today Joslyn finally fits in her outfit we bought her after her first good OBGYN Appt! (6 weeks pregnant) It was the first thing we bought her (before we knew she was a she.) I have been waiting to put it on her for soooo long! So now instead of being under my pillow while I sleep..... it is on her body!
It feels so amazing to see it on her little body. It is what got me through.... we even brought it with us when we went to the hospital to have her. I did not sleep without the little outfit under my pillow.
I still have the little white shoes hanging on my rear view mirror in my car.... maybe one day she will wear those too!!!!!
