2 Month Shots@ 12 Weeks old

Mya had her first set of shots yesterday. Katie's friend Amanda at Pediatric Specialists was the one to administer it. She got two shots in her legs and an oral vaccine. I cried more than she did. She broke my heart because she let out a "What the heck are you doing? That f*** hurts!" kind of cry. Once she was done, Bobby took her up in his arms and rocked her. We gave her a bottle immediately and she already forgot what happened to her. That night we gave her a soothing bath and massaged her legs. I took off the band aids in the water and was surprised to see so much blood on them. Usually when adults get shots we rarely bleed, but I guess a baby has less skin, so the needle is probably huge (I wouldn't know, I couldn't watch the shot being given...I know I'm a chicken ). She slept 11 1/2 hours last night and 10 hours the night before (straight...in a row!) She has been sleeping alot, so I imagine she is going through a growth spurt and may be tired from the shots too. Mya now weighs 11 lb 6 oz and is 24" long. She is in the 90th percentile for her height and the 75th for her weight. She turned 12 weeks old on Thursday and next Friday she will be 3 months old! She is already growing out of several 0-3 month PJ's and outfits, specifically because of her length!
