Mel & Avy: Another visit with the Doctor

July 30th, 2009

Avarey did much better this visit. She is always a wonderful baby and she lived up to my praises of what a "great" baby she is at her check-up! Her Amazing doctor was surprised Av's just let her listen to her heart...only grabbing for her glasses once, and check out her ears and throat. Avy just sat there and smiled at her mama. I think I'm always a little nervous the week of the doctor's visit and a little heartbroken when we leave. Of course we had shot's again, 3. One in her left leg and two in her right. Again she turned bright RED. If any of you have seen Avarey upset you know how RED her eyebrows and face get. It's soooo sad. I held her for a while before gathering our stuff and heading home. She had a little fever last night and this morning from the shot's I presume...so I'm monitoring it and have given her some Infant Tylenol. Avarey is a trooper though and I know she'll be just fine!
