Immunizations

Today I took Macy to get her 2 month shots. I dread these appointments knowing that they will be fussy for the next few days but it has to be done. She was upset before they even gave her the shots, in fact the nurses walked in and turned around and walked out thinking they must have already given her the shot and that they had the wrong room or something. We weren't off to a good start. Eventually I got her to calm down, got her mad again after the shots and then she rested peacefully while it was my turn. For a few years now I have been dealing with high liver enzyme levels which cause me to have tightness in my chest, heartburn, dry dry skin and maybe even the lovely rash I had while I was pregnant. Since my deductable had been met for the year we decided to get things test further to figure out what is causing this. I am scheduled for an ultrasound tomorrow morning at the hospital to see if my bile duct is clogged or if damage was done to it when I had my gall bladder removed 8 years ago. They also took blood to run tests on for liver issues. I have already been tested for hepatitis and have ruled that out so it should be interesting to see if/what we find. Back to Miss Macy... For her weight of 12.56 lbs, she is at 82% and her height of 23 in puts her at 64%. They said she is very alert for her age and keeps her head up amazingly well. We are thrilled with her progress, she took a 37% jump on her weight since our last visit when she was 10 days old. I guess my milk is working just fine for her. Here she is with her bandaids. Brigham was pretty bummed that he was the only one that didn't get a shot today. That kid is crazy and really, really wants a shot. When we got the h1n1 vaccine he was ticked because we ended up getting the mist instead of the shot. I wonder if he will really be a big fan of shots when he actually has to get one.
