Mireya had her 2 month wellness check yesterday. She wasn’t technically 2 months, she is actually 9 weeks today. Regardless, it went well. She is moving right up the growth charts. These are her statistics:
Weight: 9 lbs 12 oz, 22nd percentile
Height: 22.5 in, 56th percentile
Head Circumference: 14.5 in, 8th percentile.
Her weight and head circumference are so much better than her 2 week wellness check. Then she was in the 2nd percentile for head circumference and the 6th percentile for weight. Her height hasn’t changed much. It was in the 59th percentile before.
She has had several bad days in a row with her feedings. She has been spitting up a lot, crying in the middle of the feed, and refusing to finish her bottles. Her pediatrician diagnosed her with reflux. Poor thing! I know all about that and it’s miserable. She now has to take Zantac twice a day to control it. It is supposed to taste gross, but she doesn’t seem to mind it much. She is better about taking it than her gas drops, which have a good flavor. Go figure.
She also had to have her immunizations. She loved the rotavirus immunization. It was an orange-vanilla flavored liquid and she actually smiled while she ate it. The other immunizations weren’t as much fun. She had to have two shots in one thigh and one in the other. I’ll never forget the look on her face as they gave her the first shot. She looked at me like, “Why are you doing this to me mommy?” I felt so bad. She still isn’t feeling very well, but she is improving. I hope she feels better soon!
