Today we went to the doctor for Sylvia's 2 month check up and vaccinations. The pictures above were before the shots! The doctor said that Sylvia is a long and lanky girl. She has not gained as much weight as we had hoped. The doctor isn't too concerned , but he did say that she needs to eat more frequently during the nights. Not exactly what two sleep deprived parents want to hear. Over all though a good check up. We are to go back in one month for a quick weight check to be sure she has gained some more weight. We asked if we should be supplementing with formula and the doctor said no. So, we will continue to breastfeed as we have been. I cried for Sylvia longer than she did over her getting her vaccinations. It was painful for me to see the pain in her face at the needle prick. I never thought I could feel this way.
Today was so warm , we took a trip outside again. She really likes it! She was crying before we went outside and calmed down as soon as she realized where she was.
On to the biggest news of the day, Sylvia was asleep for night by 9:00 p.m.! No kidding! It's a miracle! Allen and I were able to get things ready for tomorrow, do some laundry, and dishes. We both feel very accomplished. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke and that she will go to bed at a decent time again tomorrow night.
