Appointment

So, Zoe had her 4m checkup today and all is still well :D

She officially weighs in at 14lbs 9oz and is 24.5 inches long. Her head circ is 40. All are either just a little above or below average. Her head is below though which shocks me b/c DH doesn't have a small head, and I have a big bobble head. *shrugs*

She also got 3 vaccinations today. 1 liquid and the other 2 shots. Why do the needles have to be so damn big?? I swear, the thing is so big it would go out the other side if they tried. Geeze.

Also... we set up her appointment to get her ears pierced... this Friday! eep.
I told DH he better be there. He's the one that has to hold her after she gets her vaccinations because I feel too bad to see her cry like that.. I can imagine it's going to be the same for the piercing.

They use their own little plastic rhinestone thing that has to stay in for about 2 months before we can change them so yeah, we could've waited to buy her earrings. Oh well :P

Lisa,

Was searching for my GF’s blog and came across yours. Started reading and came to your post about having your 4 mos dd’s ears pierced. This was a perfect age to pierce her ears! I believe it is always best done early when she wouldn’t remember and have mommy care for them during the healing phase.

When they're older, they will think they are a part of them and won’t bother them. Promise your daughter will look precious in her upcoming holiday pictures with them. I had our dd’s ears pierced at about the same age.

You were a smart mommy for doing it. Babies and little girls with little pierced ears celebrates their femininity and femaleness.

Our ped encouraged me doing it when mommy could care for them. Also, she gave me some tips to add to your info above for moms helping them to find the right person, place and type of earrings to use for infants having their ears pierced. Would be happy to share by e-mail with any moms wanting more info.
