A check-up, a party, and a couple of jabs
August 23rd, 2005 by Annalena
Today was a very big day, and I’m now feeling very tired and a little sore and cranky.
After a fun morning of playing around and reading stories I had my 8 week checkup. Everything was great, although some people seemed to think that I was too long/tall (62.5cm) and not fat enough (4.9kg). But I am really healthy, eat well, and regularly fill my nappies, so there really isn’t anything to worry about. Maybe I am just destined to be tall and thin?
After the checkup was the last organised meeting of our local new parents and babies group. We all lay on the floor and played while our parents ate quiche and muffins and cake and drank wine. The group has been fun and I hope we continue to meet regularly. I really liked looking at all the other babies.
Then, after the party, we went to the Town Hall where something happened that I am trying to forget. First we had to wait a LONG time for our number to be called, but at least I was waiting with some other babies I knew. The we went behind a screen, where a nice woman put some sticky liquid on my tongue and then jabbed me with 3 needles. It didn’t feel very nice at all. So now I feel sleepy and cranky, and I’m also a bit annoyed that I didn’t get to see Asher’s new show, which opened tonight.
