What a trooper!

We took Taylor in for her 2 month check up this morning. She weighed in at 11lbs 4ozs and is now 22 3/4 inches. :) The doctor checked her out and said everything looks good.......except that she is tongue tied! Not uncommon - it's when the connecting skin (membrane) under the tongue is short or it extends too far toward the front of the tongue. She referred us to an ENT to take Taylor to see and they will decide if they need to perform the procedure of snipping the membrane to correct it. That appt is tomorrow afternoon.
Next it was time for the shots. She had fallen asleep while waiting for the nurse to come in so we had to wake her up and get her ready. I stood over her and talked to her to let her know everything was ok and then it started. Poor baby - her eyes almost popped out of her head when they gave her the 1st one. There was a total of 5 and I have to give the nurse credit - she did them quickly! Obviously - Taylor was less than thrilled but the crying did stop sooner than I thought it would. We got home and she slept for a little while. After she woke up and ate - she was in a great playful mood.....picture below ....yes - that's a sticker on her shirt. I took it from the Drs office cause it says "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" True Story!!
So she is a trooper! Thankfully we don't have to do the shot thing again until her 4 month check up. Fingers crossed she will handle this tongue issue as well as she did the shots today. Actually - fingers crossed that I can handle all of it as well as she did! HA! Dear Crazy!
