Tatum had her four month appointment today with Dr. DaSilva and she's doing great! She is now 10 lbs 9.5 ozs. She is 23.25" long and her head circumference is 15.5". She is 3% on the growth chart for weight, 10-25% for length and 10% for head. Her doctor is really happy with how well she is doing and so are we! She had her second round of vaccination's today and she did really well this time, thank God! She was such a pistol last time. She cried, of course but she wasn't as fussy the rest of the night as she was the last time. It makes me feel so horrible though. I get so sad when she cries like that. I never thought I would be "one of those Mom's" that cries when her baby cries or when she hurts but I do and I am. I always thought women were being silly when they said they cried when their babies got vaccinated. I always thought that it's something that they need and why cry about it? Ha!!! It's a different story when it's your baby laying there getting poked with 4 needles and she's screaming in agony. It makes me feel so bad for her but I know it is necessary for her health. I would feel worse if I didn't get her vaccination's and she came down with Pertussis or another terrible disease and I could have prevented it. We were hoping Tatum would be ready to start cereal now but her doctor feels that we should wait for another month. I absolutely agree.
At Dr. DaSilva's office and with Dr. DaSilva
I've been sick the past couple of days and I am trying my hardest to not get her sick. It is really difficult. Last night I came home from work and felt so horrible and just wanted to lay down and die. I fed her anyway with a bandana around my nose and mouth so I didn't infect her ha ha!! So hopefully we can make it through this without her getting sick.
Me with my "mask" so that I didn't get Tatum sick. I think it worked! :)
Tatum is still on the verge of really turning over. She tries every day and gets to her side but then flips back. She will do it soon and I just hope I don't miss it when I'm at work. She enjoys sitting in her Baby Einstein jumper, even though her feet don't touch the ground. We put a pillow under her feet so she can bounce off of that now. I think she will really like in the next couple of month's. She is still pretty small for it and doesn't quite know what to do with it. She is so dang cute in it though!!!
