4 month check up

On March 4, 2011 Heidi went to the doctor for her 4 month well check. She was really only 3 months and 1 week but that's how the doctor schedules the shots. Heidi and Mommy drove to Logandale on Thursday morning. It started to snow before we left and the roads were pretty bad at first but we made it just fine. Heidi did great in the car which was good for me since Kirk wasn't with us. We met my mom and Emily in St. George to hit up Tai Pan. After we got through the gorge Heidi was done traveling. She started screaming her little head off. I pulled over and asked my mom to get in my car so she could sit with Heidi. That didn't really help any so she just screamed the rest of the way to Logandale. Friday we went to my house to check on things and to grab a few things we couldn't fit or had forgotten. I also picked a bag full of spinach out of the garden and 2 heads of lettuce. It's so awesome to be able to eat food out of your very own garden. Then we headed to lunch and the doctor.

They wouldn't let me hold Heidi when they gave her the shots and she didn't like that. She screamed like crazy when the shots were given but calmed down almost immediately afterward.

Her stats are:

Height- 24.25 inches 75%

Weight- 14 lbs. 8 oz. 75-90%

Head- 41.5 cm 75-90%

Practically perfect in everyway.

I was nervous about how the shots were going to effect her since last time they made her really achey so I bought some baby tylenol and gave it to her before she could even feel the pain. She never reacted to the shots so I'm not sure if the Tylenol was necessary but I'd rather stop that pain from happening again. Last time it was terrible. We woke up Saturday and went to get donuts and hot chocolate with Gran and Grandpa then I headed back to Utah. Heidi travels best when she can sleep so we had to leave as soon as I knew she was getting tired. Again, she did awesome. On both trips I stopped in Beaver to eat at Wendy's and to let her have a break from the carseat. Both times someone offered to carry my tray of food for me. Such nice people. She didn't start crying until we were in Huntington and even that wasn't too bad. I called Kirk and told him that I had missed the turn off from the I-70 and had been traveling in the wrong direction for 45 minutes. He totally fell for it. Unfortunately it was easy to believe because it is totally something I would probably do but I totally got him. =)

I was so glad to be back with Kirk but the time we got to spend with Gran, Grandpa and family was great.
