(And that's not counting the shots she got in the hospital after being born, nor the times they've pricked her to get a few drops of blood.)
#'s 1 & 2: Blood drawn two days in a row when she was just 4/5 days old to test her bilirubin levels.
Hello little bili-suitcase. So strange.
#'s 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7: A shot in both legs, two days in a row, as well as getting her blood drawn once, because of the ear infection she got at just 6-weeks old.
#'s 8, 9, & 10: The first of her immunization shots; two shots in one leg and one in the other. She's learning early that the doctors is not a fun place despite the big smiling kids faces painted on the walls. (We'll have to take & post a picture of the walls next time we go; it's a little frightening.)
This picture makes her thighs look much bigger than they really are... just to clarify.
On top of all that, a rash came with the ear infection and continued with a vengeance for two weeks. Luckily, our doctor prescribed some cream at her two-month check up, two weeks after it started.
We took this picture two days before her 2 month check-up because the lip bubbles were cute, but then we realized how horrible the rash looked! Yes, it's even on her eyelids.
We know the rash itched because she was constantly rubbing her forehead on us every chance she got. Poor little mutant-looking baby! We'd always hoped her mutation would be something like flying or controlling the weather.
After just two days of using the magical cream, our pretty girl is back!

poor baby! I'm glad she's feeling better. that last picture is ADORABLE!
Ahh poor thing. Things have been exiting around your house. Through it all she is still beautiful!
I know that little suitcase is not fun. Brielle had that. It drove me batty. I was afraid of it. Good luck with all of it!
