2 months! Holy Cow! - Developing Melodies Music Therapy Center

Here I am at 8 weeks! Mom got a new carrier for me and so far i think it’s pretty good! We have enjoyed a couple of walks and lunch so it must be okay 🙂

I’ve been practicing lifting my head, and as amazing as mommy and daddy think I am, the doctor was also impressed with my strength! She told mom and dad not to leave me unattended at all, as i might just accidently roll over!

This is what happens after my two-month appointment. Today was doctor day and i had some shots and some liquid shot down my throat!

I begged mommy not to leave me again! She was scared, but i thought i did pretty well! I held my breathe, let out a yelp, and then opened my eyes and realized that it was over. See below for the damage.

Ouch! I got a little uncomfortable in the afternoon so mom and dad gave me some tylenol.. it was almost as horrible as the bottle they keep trying shove down my throat, but this tasted like cherries.

Stats:

22 1/4 inches in height/length (55%)

10 pounds 14 ounces (50%)

36 cm (12%)

My head is a little small right now, but I know it’s filled to the brim with stuff and smarts, so no one worries about me.

At the end of the day, I decided to play with my awesome new toys from Nana and PopPop. I was talking to some giraffe guy… he didn’t answer me though. 🙁

Poor Farrah! So many band-aids! It was probably worse for you to watch 🙁 I like your new carrier, and I am glad to see that you have such a happy little family! Only 10more days until my due date! I have been going for walks to try to, as Matt puts it, "stomp" the baby out 🙂 I hope this works!

Farrah did well with the shots… i am scared of needles so I hid in the corner… it happens.

I have been meaning to ask you….do you have to go up a size in baby clothing because of the cloth diapers? I read that somewhere.

Also, were you effaced/dialated at any of your appointments? or did it all happen on d-day? I feel like I am not making any "progress".

It's okay darlin'! Rome wasn't built in a day! You will make progress and it may be slow and to be honest, that's probably how you want it.

Just remember that many women are late with their first child, I know it sucks to hear. I was pissed when we weren't two weeks early like the rest of the fam.

I was 80% effaced for like three weeks! I had some dilation, but for the most part until D-day, I was about 2 cm. It wasn't until my water broke that real progress was made. (Although the day before the water broke I was at 3.5… but whatever). Just keep walking, thats what they told me… and doing other things I dare not mention on here! My doctor was SURE that would work. And then she made fun of me for NOT doing it!

As far as the cloth diapers go, I think it all depends on the size of your child. Farrah was still able to pull off newborn clothing (of some companies) until about 4 weeks. Her butt is still kind of tiny, so we can shove her in almost any size thing and sometimes the diaper looks gigantic and sometimes not so much. We just call her out little pear butt! Now that she has grown a bit more, it doesn't look so bad.
