The Critter had her 9 month pediatrician appointment this morning. And I really think shots suck. And the Critter thinks the crinkly paper they use on the exam tables sucks too. She cries every time she is put down on it - even just to get her diaper changed. Hates that stuff.
She is now 18 lbs 9 oz, and 27.5 inches tall (long?). 50th percentile both. Head is 46cm (why go metric here? who knows), which is 75th percentile - all of these percentiles are just like she was at her 6 month check up. So she grows well, and consistently. Good job Critter Girl!
She got 3 shots today, including the flu shot. I got mine yesterday, so I know - they hurt! Poor girl, she cried of course, both from having to lie on the crinkle paper and getting the shots. She is napping now, we'll see if she ends up feeling yucky for awhile or if she can sleep it off quickly.
Is there anything worse than submitting your little baby to pain? I think not. I know it is for her benefit, but man, having to hold her down (on evil crinkle paper no less!) so they can hurt her with shots while she cries, ugh. It is the worst.
Quiet rainy day today, so we can both lay low at home, and recover from the trauma.

Oy poor critter girl. LMI has her first shots next week. :(
ReplyDeletePoor little thing. The good news is that she has probably forgotten all about it by now, as long as the shots don't make her feel a little under the weather. It is awful to see them in pain, but as soon as you scoop them up and give them lots of love, it's all better!
ReplyDeleteAh, poor thing! Mads hates shots too but she totally loves loves loves the crinkly paper, which makes the shots nowhere near as bad.
ReplyDeleteI hope you both are feeling all better soon!
