Ruby turned 2 months old yesterday. I can't believe it's already been 2 months since I was pregnant. The first 2 months of pregnancy seemed interminable, but the first 2 months with baby have flashed by. Yesterday we went to see the pediatrician for Ruby's 2 month checkup. She now weighs 11 lbs and is 24 in. long, which puts her in the 60th percentile for weight and the 95th percentile for height. This fits along her growth curve very well, as she was in the 50th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for height at birth and also at her 1 month checkup.
The 2 month checkup is also when a lot of the vaccinations are given. Yesterday Ruby got vaccinated against diptheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Haemophilus influenzae b, rotavirus, and pneumococcal bacteria. Fortunately, they've condensed all of those into just 2 shots. They also have a good system at the doctor's office where 2 nurses each take a leg and administer the shots simultaneously. Of course, shots are one of those things that is much more traumatic for the parents than it is for the baby. While Ruby has long since forgotten about those pointy kisses, I can't get the scrunchy look she made out of my head.
