My 2-Month Check-up

Today is my 2-month check-up.  My previous visit to the doctor should had been my 1-month check-up, yet, I’ve been making a lot of un-scheduled visits, due to my Jaundice condition. 

As of last visit, Dr. Liu said my color looked a lot better and she said I could stop the blood test.  That was about 2 weeks ago.  So today, when we arrived at Dr. Liu’s office, one of the questions that Daddy asked was:

“Does her color look ‘okay’ to you?”

Dr. Liu’s answer was ‘No, not really.’  But she also commented that there isn’t much that anyone could do.  Dr. Liu said there is no need to check-in to a hospital.  There is no medication for it.  And I’m already too old to be sitting under those lights for newborn.  The only thing that Mommy and Daddy could do is to stop breast-feeding. 

Unfortunately, that didn’t save me from injections.  Part of the routine 2-month check-up is to take the immunization shots.  And ‘ouch!’  They were painful.  Below are 2 videos.  The first one shows me getting weight-in, and the second one shows the nurse sticking that long needle in me.
