Happy 2 months, baby girl

She's 2 months old today! We had her 2 month appointment, which went better than I thought. She had to get 4 shots, but the nurse was very quick and the crying, though loud, was short. I've never seen Jenna turn that many shades of red in such a short time. I think it was harder on her mama than it was on her. :) I had been curious about her weight, and I now know that she weighs 12 pounds, 14 ounces. So she's up 5 pounds, 1 ounce from birth. Actually I would have guessed more than that, but I'm glad she's not getting toooooo big. Her weight is in the 75th percentile, her length in the 50th %, and her head circumference in the 25th %. Sorry Dad, I know you'd be proud if her head was bigger. :)

We asked the doctor (Dr. Bel) about the spitting up issue, because I'm not sure what's normal. I just know this kid spits up A LOT. She suggested a medication that we might try. Jenna spit up several times at the doctor's office--pretty much soaked 2 burp cloths, my shirt, Jay's pants, and her outfit. Dr. Bel said if she's doing that all day, it's excessive and it may be a reason why she has sleep issues. But as long as she's gaining weight, we should look at it as nothing more than a nuisance. So we're not going to put her on medication--just deal with the spit-up. We don't think it's causing her sleep issues because she does pretty well at night (after she's fallen asleep). It's just naps that she's so bad at. Dr. Bel said once we start her on solid foods at 4 months, it will probably help, so it's only temporary anyway.

Yay baby girl, you made it through 2 months and your first round of shots...it only gets better from here. :)
