Jul. 30th, 2005 10:09 pmAlex had her four-month pediatrician visit today - a bit early, because it turns out that with all the school and sports physicals people need, you need to call 8-10 weeks in advance for a well-child visit in August. The scheduler searched and searched and finally found us a little corner of the Saturday morning schedule. Whew.
She had a rougher time with the vaccines today. Just like last time, she screamed herself purple while she was actually getting the shots and then quieted immediately once I picked her up afterward. But in the late afternoon and evening she got fussy and whiny in the way that, for her, always means actual discomfort. The areas around the puncture marks are pink and sore-looking. Poor little girl. We dosed her up with Infant Tylenol, but it was still a difficult evening - more so than last time. I hope that she's able to sleep well tonight.
( but everything else looks good. )
