Kamryn's 1 month checkup part 4

I would like to thank KamalalovezDoug 4 her help with writing this

Dr. Robbins- "Doug can you lay her on the scale, so we can see how much she weighs"

Doug lays her on the scale "how much does she weigh"

Dr. Robbins- "5 pounds 15 ounces" and she is 21" inches long, she's gained 8 ounces since she was here 2 weeks ago and because you're nursing, I want you to start giving Kamryn vitamin D drops, once a day, you give it to them right before you feed her, just give her 1ml a day, which is 1 drop"

Kamala- "okay, why does she need that, doesn't she get enough from my milk"

Dr. Robbins- "no she doesn't, so that's why I want you to give it to it to her, it will help her grow, and they will get .25 ml a day which is one drop, I know we are in LA, and it's sunny out, how often is Kamryn outside"

Kamala- "okay, then we will give her the drops, she's outside a lot, but she's usually in her pack n play or in the carrier I wear while I sit on the swing which is on the patio"

Dr. Robbins- "right before you nurse her give her one drop each, that's good she's getting some fresh air, she's not in the direct sun"

Kamala- "no she's not in direct sun, I know she can't wear sunscreen yet"

Dr. Robbins- "no Kamryn can't wear sunscreen until she's 6 months old, if you want her to be outside when it's sunny I would suggest early in the morning, and put a sunhat on her, and if she will let you sunglasses"

Doug- "okay, that's what we have been doing do you want me to hold Kamryn while you give her shot or have her lay on the table"

Kamala- "I want to hold her"

Dr. Robbins- "you can hold her, you can put her onesie back on though, leave her pants off though until after she gets her shot"

Kamala puts Kamryn's onesie back on and snaps it up, while Dr. Robbins gives Kamryn her shot in her leg and then she puts a Minnie Mouse bandaid where she got her shot.

Kamryn cries when she gets her shot, and Kamala is comforting her, "I know you didn't like that, but you need it to keep you healthy, let Mommy get you dressed so you will be warm, your cousins Amara and Leela, even Mia had to get her baby shots" 

Kamala is holding back tears, while trying to be brave for Kamryn. Doug notices Kamala about to have a meltdown and he puts his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.  "my baby is growing up so fast, please slow down"

Dr. Robbins- "Kamala, you can put Kamryn's pants on, and she's healthy and everything looks good"

Kamala- "that's good, I know your not happy Kamryn, but you need these to stay healthy"

Dr. Robbins- "Kamryn could get a fever or be fussy, which is a good thing it means that her immune system is working and so are vaccines are working, if she does get a fever, some babies do, and some don't, take their temperature, and then if it's over 99 degrees, give her 1.25 ml of infants Tylenol every 4 hours but not more then 5 times in 24 hours, the fever if she gets it, shouldn't last long, and where she got her shot are red, it's okay, it will go away with in 12-24 hours, she may be fussy, want to cuddle more, she may want to nurse more"

Kamala- "it's okay Kamryn, I know you don't like this but you need this to stay healthy just like Leela and Amara and Mia, I know what you want as soon as your checkup is done I will feed you I know what your looking at, thanks we will give you extra cuddles today"

Dr Robbins- "I will see Kamryn in a month for her 2 month well baby visit, and she will need 6 shots that day."

Kamala- "my baby is growing up so fast please slow down"

Dr. Robbins- " we are all done, Kamryn did very well at her checkup, I will see her in a month"

Kamala- "I will make their appointment when we leave"

Dr. Robbins leaves

Doug notices Kamala is about to start crying and wraps an arm around her. "Baby are you okay?" he whispers.

Kamala-" Kamryn's growing up so fast, I wish she could stay a baby forever."

Doug- "she is a baby, just growing up, which is what we want, she still need us aww my girls are down huh? What can daddy do to comfort his girls and he gives cuddles and he gives both of them a kiss it will be a while before that happens, but we knew this was going to happen, let's enjoy her while she's really little, Kamryn will always need us"

Kamala sniffles and wipes her tears away. "You always know the right things to say yes we all need extra cuddles and I want some ice cream and german chocolate cake"

Doug- "Well of course baby. Whatever my girl want, my girl's get no matter how much it costs, I want to see that beautiful smile and let's dry these tears"

Kamala- "Dougie your the best hubby & the best daddy ever" she gives Doug a kiss

Doug- "And you are the most amazing wife and mommy" He gives Kamala a kiss

Kamala- "aww thanks Honey, let me make her appointment for her 2 month checkup then we can leave"

Kamala puts Kamryn in her carrier and she buckles her seatbelt, Dougie, I think we have everything, I didn't bring my purse, I just have my wallet, and my phone in Kamryn's diaper bag"

Doug- "I wondered where your purse was"

Kamala- "I didn't feel like carrying it today and with Kamryn's small diaper bag, it wouldn't fit, so I just took my wallet, and my phone"

Doug- "okay"

Doug- "okay, your phone is ringing, it's Maya"

Kamala gets her phone out of the diaper bag, and answers it.

Kamala- "Hey Maya"

Maya- "Hey, I know Kamryn had her 1 month checkup today, and I'm off today, I remember how Meena was when she got her 1 month baby shots, she was really fussy, and just wanted lots of cuddles, same with Leela and Amara, I made us lunch, I made a big greek salad with chicken in it, and for dessert, I brought your favorite ice cream as well"

Kamala- "thanks Maya, Reeses pieces ice cream?"

Maya- "yes, it's in the freezer, and so is a surprise from Doug, is also in the freezer"

Kamala- "we will be home soon, I have to make Kamryn's 2 month well baby visit"

Maya- "okay, see you soon bye"
