Maddie's doctor visit

Maddie had her two month check up at the doctor today. It was not a fun visit for Miss Maddie because she had to get four shots and another shot that she took out of a dropper. She screamed so hard that she didn't make a sound for a second and Les had to blow in her mouth for her to catch her breath. That may sound familiar because apparently i did that to my mom. I would hold my breath and turn blue. It is all coming back around to me now!!!

Maddie has been very fussy all night and we have been giving her tylenol to help with the discomfort of her shots. Motherhood really sinks in when you see your little girl getting shots and crying and you can't take away her pain. It made me want to cry because i couldn't fix what is wrong with her. All we can do is hold her and tell her its okay.

Here is a picture of her after we got home from the doctor......she has two bandaids on her thighs....poor baby.

Maddie may look bigger because she has gained some more weight since her two week checkup. She is now weighing 10 lbs. 8 oz. and is 21 1/2 in. long. The doctor said she is very alert and strong for her age. She is growing just like she should be.

Here is Maddie after her tylenol.....just chillin' in her swing while mom and dad eat dinner. She discovered her fish on the mobile, thanks to dad.

To add to Maddie's fussy day, Buddy had to go to the vet and get some minor surgery. He did good on his surgery and got to come home this afternoon. He is recovering on the couch and moaning because he is in a little bit of pain. Both my babies are hurting tonight :(
