Sophia must want something big for Christmas because she has been SO good the past few days.
She had her 2-month check-up on the 1st and she weighed 7 pound 15 ounces (she almost certainly weighs 8 pounds by now; she's getting some adorable rolls on her thighs). She also got all of her shots. The nurse who administered thte shots was so fast with the shots that Sophia barely had time to realize that it hurt and to cry before it was all over. She cried for a second, but as soon as Danny picked her up she stopped crying. We expected her to wail and scream but she didn't.
That is, until later that night. She must have felt pretty crummy because we had never seen her cry and scream so much. But we gave her a little infant Tylenol and she was able to sleep through the worst of it. What a good little girl!
We have also been working on packing in preparation for our move tomorrow (see my othe blog for pics of our new house: http://brendabokovoybulletins.blogspot.com/ ). It's been difficult to get much packing done during the day when I'm on my own taking care of Sophia. But for the past few days Sophia has been so cooperative to take loong naps during the day so I could get some stuff done. She's such an angel baby!
A few other updates:
Our insurance company denied payment for Synagis shots (very expensive RSV antibody medication) ... because she was born at 35 weeks and 2 days - the cut-off is 34 weeks and 6 days.
Because Sophia's not getting Synagis, her pediatrician recommended that we wait to take her out until at least March; February is the peak of RSV season. That seems like a really long time to me, but whatever we need to do to keep her healthy is most important.
We are now debating when to have her baby blessing. We had originally planned for January or February, but with th doctor's new recommendations, we're now thinking maybe March. However, we recently talked to someone whose 2-year-old contracted RSV in March ... so we're considering April. But by then she'll be over 6 months old. So, I guess we have some decisions to make.
One last thing: I'll be posting more pics of Sophia as soon as we get internet set up in our new place!

What an angel! Sophia is such a great baby! Oh...I know how you feel with having to keep a baby in all winter. It's tough. But you can do it! Just make sure that when Danny gets home for the day that you get out for a bit (at least a few times a week). And get some good books and movies! I was also going to tell you that we blessed Jenna at home (with the bishop's permission). It was smaller that way, but it was still special. We didn't really know our new ward at that point, and we felt better about keeping her home.
