Emma's Doctor Visit

Today Emma went to the doctor's office for her 1 month check up - yes it is late but that's what happens when your 1 month birthday is Christmas day and Mommy waits to make the appointment. Emma was an all-star - and is in perfect health - minus the small diaper rash she has just developed. Emma now weighs 10 pounds 13.5 ounces! At her last visit, 6 days after she was born, she weighed 8 pounds 1.5 ounces. She's quite the good eater - so I shouldn't be surprised!

At the end of the appointment, Emma received her second round of the Hep B vaccine. Emma was so happy naked on the table and then the nurse stuck her with the needle. I can't even describe how horrified she looked and then started screaming. I scooped her up and cuddled - and as soon as the nurse left, I started crying. It was such a horrible thing to watch! In two weeks she has to go back and get her 2 month old round of shots - which I think is 4 shots - and I think I am going to have to leave the room. Daddy will have to take that one!

Today Emma took a spin in the Baby Bjorn. We did some chores around the house and of course took some pictures! She seemed to enjoy vacuuming the most. And then she appeared to be exhausted after the chores...

Big girl!!! :) I think Luke is going to catch her- he is over 7lbs already! A week and a half ago he was just over 6! :)

I still want to take some pictures of your little (big) peanut next time we get together!
