Mama from Beth Bruce on Vimeo.
Avery is 9 weeks old today!
We went to the doctor yesterday and here are her stats:
Head Circumference: 15 inches - 33rd percentile
Weight: 10 pounds, 5 ounces - 36th percentile
Length: 24.5 inches - 98th percentile
Yes, that says NINETY-EIGHTH PERCENTILE. We have a long baby!
Miss Avery also had the pleasure of receiving FIVE vaccinations: 1 oral, and 3 shots (one shot had 2 vaccines combined)
She loved the oral vaccine and took it like a champ, much like she takes her Poli-Vi-Sol vitamins everyday!
That video is from about a month ago, so her hair is much shorter and she looks so different!
Avery was just laying on the exam table, in her diaper, happy as could be, cooing away at everyone. The nurse told me to hold her hands and talk to her and then she said, "One, two, three..." and she and the other nurse stuck her in both thighs with the THREE SHOTS, all at the same time.
Avery sucked in all her breath, out of sheer surprise, turned purple, and started screaming like she has never screamed before.
And my mama's heart broke, right there. And it continued to break for the next 30 minutes while she screamed, without stopping, no matter what I did.
Poor baby.
But, she survived. And so did I. She didn't get a low-grade fever, but she was definitely sore for the rest of the evening, and did a lot of sleeping.
Can you believe those nurses stuck the legs of this sweet baby?

What a doll! She gets more beautiful with each passing week!
I can't believe she likes those vitamins. The smell alone almost made me throw up! I used to mix it in a bottle for Hannah because she would just spit it out!
Glad Vimeo is working for you. It's pretty easy, huh? It's fun to hear you talking like a Mommy!! :)
