Well Baby is Well!
Yesterday I took Isabella to her 2 month well baby check up at Kaiser. As usual, my overthinkingness got us to the appointment a few minutes late...which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but our pediatrician has run late before. She apparently is one of those doctors who spends a lot of time with her patients, even listening to the parents, I mean, what gives? How inconsiderate to take your time with people! Seriously, I'm more used to the in and out five minute appointments with doctors these days, so it's nice to be able to spend some quality time with a doctor.
Here's the tale of the tape: Isabella is now 11 lbs, 2 oz. Seriously? She gained four pounds in the last six weeks. You go, breastmilk. She's now 22 3/4 inches, and her nugget is 38 cm around. She's doing well per all of her measurements. She is making all her targets, so we're happy.
She had her shots too, and that's never a pleasant experience, right? Strangely enough, shots and the like never really freaked me out, so hopefully she'll get that from me. In the injection area of the pediatrician's office, the kids were howling bloody murder, having to be held down. I saw a boy, must have been at least seven, being forcibly restrained by his mom. Poor thing. A quick pinch and it's done. But with Isabella, it was three shot and downing some nasty liquids. I had to hold her in my lap while the nurse did the work. It was fast, but boy did she let me have a good scream. Strangely enough, after a bit of fuss, she passed out. Until the car ride home where she worked out her lungs. I think it's when we're moving, she's good, but in stop and go, she just doesn't like it. Just like her pops. Funny, huh?
Anyways, I'm trying to figure out if I should just up load a picture here and there in the site or just put it in picasa or something so people would have to check it...I'm more inclined to do the former, but I hardly ever get to sit down and do work on the computer these days. So this is it for now :-) More updates to follow.

She's cooing, trying to laugh (I should capture some video for you), and can have interesting conversations with you. She hates the car seat, but will have to learn to like it, I suppose, if we are to go out and about!
