ella j got her first little shot today at her two month doctor visit. it wasn't nearly as traumatic as I envisioned it. our doc is pretty cool and doesn't frown at me with dismay when i mention 'alternative vaccine' schedule and look at her like she's crazy when she mentions a chicken pox vaccine. when did chicken pox become so bad!!??
at the doc's office she had fallen asleep in my arms and stirred just a little bit as we layed her on the table so the nurse could administer the shot. she got it in her leg and cried for about 1 minute and was done. she's a tough gal.
clay and i feel pretty strongly about all this vaccination business. a good website to check out is: www.generationrescue.org for information on the bad side of shots.
so ella j will be getting most of the shots recommended for kiddos, but at a slower rate. she'll only get poked once or twice each visit instead of three or four times.
enough of my soapbox, now for the stats that everyone wants to hear about....
ella j weighed on the high side of 12 pounds
she is in the 90th percentile in height at 24 inches
she is in the 90th percentile in weight
and in the 75th percentile for head size.
this last bit is very good news as her dad and I have two jinormous heads. maybe ella j will have a small enough noggin to be able to fit into the cutesy girl hats they sell at those stores for normal sized ladies :).
