Ava's two-month wellness check-up was today. Here are her new measurements:
Her weight and head circumference (lol) are in the 50-55th percentiles, while her length falls *short* in the 34th percentile. She's gonna be a shorty, just like her Mommy and Daddy!
Also, apparently she has a broken collar bone. Ten seconds later, when our hearts started pumping again, we were told "not to worry, it most likely happened during birth, and it'll heal itself and she'll be perfectly fine". She's supposedly not in pain, but I'm still being cautious, hoping it might heal itself a little faster. There is a noticeable bump on her left side where the scar tissue is forming. Poor baby.
She was supposed to receive immunizations today, but they were out of one so we decided to wait until next week when all shots were available. I secretly wish that vaccinations were just a bunch of hulabaloo that we could skip on, but I am not so lucky. For now though I will be happy with having been able to postpone them one week. But oh, how my heart will ache.
Handicap bathroom stalls are the gatekeepers of public changing tables.
A smile is the most precious expression.
It is okay to have a bad night. Don't take it personally, in the morning things will be good again.
Don't feel guilty about going out for a few hours and leaving the baby safely at home (with a sitter, of course ;)).
Ava loves having her diaper changed. Or maybe she just loves being in her birthday suit? Either way, less fuss = lucky me!
Baby carriers are absolutely genius.
I need to be taking many, many more photos.
Ava, thank you for sharing a little more of your sweet, sweet personality this month. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!
