"This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you"

Mary Claire had her 2 month check up today... which means the dreaded shots! 

I was so nervous about this appointment, I was so anxious in fact that I forgot all about the fun stuff that happens at the 2 month check up. So I was pleasantly surprised when the nurse asked me to undress her down to her diaper so we could weigh her.

Do you see that?!?!?! 10 pounds 2 ounces!!! That puts her in the 29th percentile.

Then about face to measure her

Just a little squirt measuring only 21.25 inches putting her in the 12th percentile.

And the kicker--- Head circumference... 

15.16 inches putting her in the 71st percentile!!! She has big brains OK!?!?!?!

Then she spit- up all over mommy! YAY!!

Off the room to wait for the doctor

Spit-up #1 and #2

Spit-up #3 and #4

Spit up #5

 Then Dr Bennie came in and got out a puppy pad for her to lay on :)

 Spit up #6 and #7

Mary Claire had a great check up! Doctor said she was perfect and very normal. The spit-up is ok as long as she is gaining weight and not upset like she is in pain when she does it. And as for the little bumps on her head that mommy thought was from sleeping in her spit up or her head bands....

It's baby acne. Sorry hunny, you got mommy's complexion.

Then the nurse came in for the SHOTS! AHHH!!!! I told her I was not going to cry :)

First the oral one.

Then shot 1, 2 and 3. It happened so quickly. No lie- Like 5 seconds and it was over. Mary Claire only cried for like 10 seconds. She was fine by the time the nurse got the pretty, sparkly band-aids on her. :)

She must have gotten the memo Mary Claire likes things that sparkle!

Next visit is at 4 months and I am not dreading the shots as much. It was not that bad at all.
