Week #8 - Shots & Visits

Favorite things this Week:  The smiles Hazel gives when she is looking right at you and all the cooing & kicking she does when you change her diapers! She is starting to hold things in her hands.  I just love it when she grabs my shirt when I am feeding her.  Getting into the "zone" this week Hazel just wanted to be swaddled, bounced, and her nuk held in her mouth - amen as our arm muscles were bulking up from swinging that darn car seat.



This week Mike and I brought Hazel to the doctor for her two month visit.  I brought Mike for support and to comfort Hazel when she got her shots. As soon as the nurse came in to give the shots I left in tears and stood outside the door plugging my ears while crying.  The nurses were kind and held me like a baby, patting my back telling me it was going to be alright until I pried my fingers from my ears. Seriously the shots were over in like 5 second  and Hazel was almost asleep in Mike's arm when I returned. Why are these shots so hard on mom's?  Besides the shots the visit went well and she is doing great.

Hazel's 2 Month Stats: 
Weight: 11lbs 14oz (75%)
Height: 23 inches log (75%)
Head: 39 cm (50%)

This week we also ventured to my work to show little Hazel off! I figured it was about time to prove I did indeed actually have a baby and my belly that had grown for nine months was just not because I changed my eating habits.

HAHA – Leah, I laughed so hard when reading this post! I can totally sympathize with you and I’m glad Mike was able to get away from work for Hazel’s appointment. Love seeing her smiling face – she’s changing so much!
