6 Week Check Up and Shots

That's how Ella Kate felt about today! This morning we had to go and have a 6 week check up for the little one in order for her to go to daycare. Normally she would have this appointment at 8 weeks, but the doctor did not want her going into daycare during cold and flu season without her shots. So off to the doctor we went...

As of her 6 week check up:
Length - 22 1/2 inches (up another 1/2 inch since her last check up)
Weight - 9 lbs 7 oz (starting to fill out!)

The doctor says she is perfectly healthy and reaching all of her milestones for the normal 8 week check up so yeah Ella Kate! Unfortunately with this check up came 3 shots and an oral vaccine. She was a trouper for the oral vaccine and it actually looked like she wanted more... as for the shots, she was definitely NOT A FAN! I have never heard her scream like that poor thing! Needless to say it has been a rough afternoon around here. Her legs where they gave her the shots are really sore and she was running a bit of a fever, but luckily it's nothing a little pain reliever can't help and now she is sleeping peacefully... well at least for a little while!

Tomorrow I go back to work and Ella Kate is off to daycare - will definitely have to post about that adventure... not sure if I am ready for this yet!
