4 month check up

Today Maya had her 4 month check up.
She is 14lbs 14oz and 25 inches long which is in the 75th percentile for both!
The doctor also noted "she has the most perfect head I've seen in a long time! No flat spots!" She was quite impressed.
Of course there was a vaccine as well. This set for 4 month olds has 2 injections and 1 oral. Today we did only 1 injection that has 5 different vaccines in it--We thought that was plenty for 1 day. We will go back in a week for the other injection and oral.
In mommy group friday we were talking about vaccines and how breast milk helps babies cope with pain, and how it has a relaxing effect on them -- we all know how relaxing Maya finds nursing (wink wink). So I decided to put it to the test. I nursed her before we left, when we got into the room (the dr was running 45 minutes late this time) and since she was only getting 1 in her thigh I was able to nurse her during the injection. And guess what? She didn't even flinch!! Nada! Nothing! I was SOOO proud of her!
