Josie had her two month checkup yesterday. We've been waiting for this one, A) because it's a milestone and B) because Josie is actually almost 3 months old and still in newborn clothing. Too small for some of it, actually. I am kind of surprised at how a lot of baby clothing makers think babies are shaped sometimes. I know she's small for her age but still, it's like they think all babies are shaped like basketballs. Short and fat. Anyways.. her checkup. Turns out she is in the 20th percentile for weight and length, and 75th for head circumference! We have a bit of a bobble-head on our hands! It's ok, though, because she fits into a lot of the warm hats we bought before she was born. She has also outgrown a few of the cute ones, though, but it just gives me a reason to find some more =)
We also have been waiting for this appointment because we found out a few weeks ago that she has thrush. I took her in and got a prescription for it when I was in Sauk with my mom over Labor Day weekend, but it turns out she is allergic to the normal medicine they give for it. When we went in for her checkup we told the doctor about it, and she told us there's a treatment they can do in the office for it. The side effect? It turns her mouth purple for about a day. We were all for it.
Here's what she looked like when we brought her home:
It was pretty interesting having a purple-mouthed daughter for a day. She also drooled purple, so we had her in plain white onesies and had to lay old blankets down in her crib. It had faded away by the time she woke up this morning. She also had her shots at her checkup, and was a total rockstar about it. She cried initially, but a few minutes later it was no big deal. She sprung a fever that night but after a run to Walgreens and a dose of baby Tylenol it was gone within a couple hours. She's been a little fussy and sleepy but overall she's all good today. We're more than ready to get back into the routine of being home with her.
