Luna turned 2 months on July 13th and we can't believe how time has flown! I have seen a few newborns at La Leche meetings and my birth center and it is unbelievable how much smaller they are at 3 weeks old versus Luna, it just shows you how much they grow in a few weeks!
We took her to her 2 month check up and she is doing great! Here are her measurements (which of course mean nothing, only that she is growing and doing fabulous! Percentiles are retarded in my opinion!)
Weight 11.7 pounds..........60-70 percentile
Height 22 inches................40-50 %
Head 38 cm.........................25th percentile
We decided to space out her vaccinations as well, as anyone that knows Luna's mommy knows about the story as a teenager when her pediatrician gave her too many shots at once (4 shots and one of them was a new one that I had to sign a waiver before they gave to me!) and passed out afterwards for 10 minutes, had a pseudo seizure while passed out and was rushed to the neurology department at Medical City. Needless to say, I have read the Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears and we are going by his recommended schedule of receiving 2 shots at a time, once a month. That way she does not get aluminum toxicity and they can determine more easily which shot could have given a side effect.
She got her first 2 shots on Thursday, July 15th, Rotavirus (oral) and the DTaP and handled them very well! I held the poor thing as she cried but they were over quickly and she got a Tweety Bird band-aid.
