First, a warning: Loving Lucy will be taking a brief hiatus over the next few days, as Lucy’s Grandma and Grandpap (Hubs’ parents) are visiting from Virginia. (They are en route from LAX as I write this!) I will try to catch up with some extra posts next week.
And I know I didn’t post yesterday either. We were busy taking Lucy to the doctor for her 2 month checkup. She got a clean bill of health and confirmed what we already knew: our daughter is a string bean! 10 lbs and 24 inches puts her in the 18th percentile for weight and the 98th percentile for height.
I expected Lucy’s shots to be really traumatizing, but it wasn’t as bad as I feared. I admit I got a little freaked out when I saw the needles (I hate needles so much that I went without an epidural, after all!) but Lucy was a real trooper. She cried hard for a few minutes, which was hard to watch — I hadn’t seen her cry real actual tears before! But then she settled down, slept all the way home, and was totally fine! No extra fussing, no fever, and no need for infant Tylenol. Much better sport than her mama. I’m impressed!
