Today I picked up Noomi and Ajax from school early to take them to the Doctors. I must admit I chickened out and didn’t tell Ajax he was getting shots. I panicked.
The Doctor said that Noomi was developing wonderfully! She is right on track developmentally and is doing great physically. She weighed in at 21 lb 10 oz (55%) and was 31.13 inches in length (95%!!). Her head circumference was 17.75 inches (50%). She was a little weary of the Doctor, he wasn’t our normal pediatrician, but I could only get the kids in today in the late afternoon, so we rolled with it. Noomi ended up getting three shots and did ok. She was more upset watching Ajax get his three shots. As I was there solo, that meant I had to hold Noomi and try to hold Ajax’s hand while he got his shots. He did alright with the first one, but the second one he started yelling at the nurse – You’re so mean! I don’t like you! (poor nurse).
Once the shots were done and we were walking out, both kids were fine and by the time we got home Noomi was asleep and Ajax was excited about the Popsicle I promised him.
Success!
