At 12 weeks, baby girl is 14 lbs, 13 oz

I can't believe it. Paige is a much bigger baby than I am used to but it's kind of nice. I don't worry about her being healthy or getting enough to eat. Last Thursday she had vaccinations and we made it through somehow. Three shots and one oral vaccination for rotavirus. That was a new one to me. It is like parent torture. I felt like I was participating in some strange, tribal, cultural ritual in which we hope the spirit gods will protect our children if we inject them with that which could make them ill. Yes, I know. Its much more scientific than that and its good for them...

Still. It is hard to think so clearly at the time. Ahh. Pure parent torture. All I can say is: we survived.
