4 Months

February came and so did another doctor appointment and more shots, but I had learned my lesson from her two month check-up and decided that I was going to make sure she didn't get sick from the shots again.
The check-up went well, Tara weighed in at 12 pounds and 9 oz. She is still a little small for her age but catching up fast and that made me happy to hear the doctor say she was doing great. We talked for a few more minutes about various things about Tara and what I needed to do with her to make sure she developed as she should be.
Then it was time to talk about the shots. If you remember from my 2 month post, Tara became ill after all the shots babies get at 2 months. I had found out from my parents and a few other people that I can split up the shots over a month. So the doctor and I agreed that she would get 2 shots at this visit and then I would have to just bring her in one time in March to get the other shots. Tara was pretty calm during these shots as she only got one shot and had to take the other vaccine orally, I was really proud of her.
I was also pretty thankful that the doctor allowed me to do this. I know I am her mother and I get to decide what happens to her, but I guess I thought that the doctors would be angry with me for telling them what to do. But it was just the opposite, the doctor was very understanding after I told hr had happened after the last shots. New River Pediatrics makes Tara's doctor visits very pleasant and I look forward to using them for Tara and any other children I may have.
