Two Months Old
Friday Jul 27, 2007
I’m two months old today, and today was the worst day of my whole life. We went to the doctor and I got something called shots. They hurt so much I couldn’t believe it! I cried and cried so hard until I thought I was gonna die. Mom was right next to me, talking to me the whole time, but that didn’t make it stop hurting.
They say I’m 10 pounds and 13 ounces now, and 22 inches long. My weight and head size are right in the fiftieth percentile, which I guess is a fancy way of saying things are normal. But my height is in the 25th percentile, which they say means I’m gonna be short like mom. Personally, I thought mom was really tall. I think she’s more than 22 inches, but I’m not sure cause I don’t know how to count yet.
I’ve been really fussy in the evenings cause my tummy hurts a lot. But then I pass gas - sometimes really loudly - and I feel better. Mom gave me something totally new in my bottle last night. They called it “water”. It was confusing to be drinking something different, but I think I like it. It’s my first grown-up drink.
