Two Month Check Up

Weighing in at 10 pounds, 8 ounces, and with a height of 23 inches, our little Miss is long and lean. I am sure Dr. Brandis says this to all the new moms but according to her, Sailor is perfect... we already knew that.

The two month visit wasn't just measurements and praise, it was also when the first round of vaccinations began. We've opted to do a delayed schedule which means we waived 3 out of the 5 she was supposed to get according to CDC. The vaccine debate is complicated at best but I believe every parent should do their research and make a determination that makes the most sense for them. A delayed schedule is what we are comfortable with, and like all decisions a parent makes, it's part knowledge, part emotion.

Sailor was a brave little patient and barely cried. She loved looking at the cartoon images painted on the wall and while other babies were wailing in the adjoining rooms, she laughed and cooed through the entire visit. Dr. Brandis' diagnosis was accurate... she's perfect.
