When we got to the car she was fine. It was worse when her legs hurt her all afternoon. We ended up giving her tylenol about every 8 hours and it helped a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-562271 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:40:17 +0000 wheres_c 562271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: Oh wow...craziness. I'm considering a homebirth with #2 after how awful my hospital delivery was. The delivery nurse actually asked me why I wasn't giving birth at home or a birth center because I was refusing the pitocin and the epi.</p> <p>@rawrasaur: Ouch! poor little Audra. did she cry a lot?<br /> I'm not sure what's worse. Getting stuck 5 times at once, or getting stuck the 2 times and knowing I will be taking him back in 4 weeks for more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-561982 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:09:59 +0000 rawrasaur 561982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, Audra got stuck 5 times at her 2 month visit a week ago.We were told just three pokes, but there were 4 and I think the 5th was because the 4th syringe broke. Her legs were very sore the next 24 hours. Luckily, other than some cradle cap, everything else looked perfect.</p> <p>ETA: She was 10 lbs 8 oz putting her in the 26th percentile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-561845 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:14:46 +0000 Minnie_Girl 561845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: We're meeting all of the (six?) pediatricians at an office that sees unvaxed children, but so far we haven't found one that suits us really well. One was kind of cold after she found out about our home birth, one was pushy, another relied on a handout instead of talking to me. </p> <p>I'm looking for someone who will talk with me more in-depth and provide me with good info! I keep running into this scenario where I ask questions and people start judging or shut down. The biggest lecture actually came from a CNM at my postpartum checkup!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-561843 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:14:24 +0000 sorrycharlie 561843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FWIW, the 4-m shots were a million times easier!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-561729 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:30:07 +0000 wheres_c 561729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: yes thank goodness when he woke up the next day he was his fussy self.</p> <p>Who is lecturing you?</p> <p>I interviewed 2 pediatricians....one was very standoffish but the one we chose said that if he wasnt in daycare then its ok to delay some of them.</p> <p>We chose hib and pneumoccoal because you dont want to mess around with meningitis.<br /> I initially wanted to skip Polio because its been eradicated in the US but SO is from Peru and his cousin is semi paralyzed due to polio, so he convinced me otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-561686 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:17:22 +0000 Minnie_Girl 561686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: Is B feeling better now? :) </p> <p>I am DREADING the two month visit. I'm already super upset at the thought of the shots, but if we don't do them I'll get to put up with another "you're a diseased baby killer" lecture. Blah. At this point I'm thinking we'll wait on the shots until she's bigger. </p> <p>Other than that, I'm looking forward to seeing how much bigger baby girl actually has gotten! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-561278 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:10:02 +0000 rattles 561278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: oh gosh, poor little fella! I hope it's better next time when he's a little bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-561273 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:51:50 +0000 wheres_c 561273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stellasmama: yay thats awesome!<br /> @rattles: glad she did well with the shots!</p> <p>After i posted this he cried inconsolably for 3 hours. By the time SO got home, i was crying too i felt so bad for him. I hope the next set arent like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-561250 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:16:20 +0000 rattles 561250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stellasmama: that's huge growth, especially proportionately! Well done, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-560985 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 19:31:39 +0000 tinyperson 560985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had ours today and S had her two shots. She's up from 5 lbs 8 oz at birth to 9 lbs 0.5 oz. so still small, but gaining appropriately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-560221 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 13:21:00 +0000 rattles 560221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So exciting! L is growing so quickly too! She was 11lb 4 oz and 23.25 inches at her 2 month a week or two ago. We're doing the recommended vaccine schedule, but it was only two shots and she was only fussy for a few hours afterward. </p> <p>How's everything else going for B? And any other December babies of course! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-554250 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:58:05 +0000 autumnlove 554250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like B is doing great! :-) Good job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-visit#post-554197 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:40:35 +0000 wheres_c 554197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our pediatrician so much! She just gives us the information we need, allows us to make decisions and is supportive.</p> <p>B had his two month checkup today.<br /> He went from 7th percentile weight at birth, to 41st percentile (11lb 6oz). He is 70th percentile for height, and 74th percentile for weight.<br /> We need to work on tummy time for flat head, but his umbilical hernia looks way better.</p> <p>We are working an alternate vaccine schedule so had hib and pneummoccal shots today. He will have tdap, rotovirus, polio next time. </p>
