Two Month Well Check

Yep. It's been two months already.
Sweet Pea is doing great growing and gaining weight.
She is at a whopping 13# 9oz. That's my big girl!
(I thought she would weigh in every bit of 15# but watch out BabyA!
We are hot on your trail!) ;-)
But I'm a bit baffled at the term "well check".
See, I took my growing, perfectly happy and content, well two month old to the doctor today
and she is now screaming, won't eat, sorta sleeping, NOT WELL!
Why do they call it a well check if they are going to make your baby sick???
She got FIVE shots today and an oral vaccine.
The shots not only hurt and left her bleeding and bruised, but now they are sore, swollen, keeping her from eating, and will probably cause fever for (up to) the next three days.
Does that sound well to you???
The oral vaccine is going to give her diarrhea.
Well???
I don't think so.
Please pray for us the next few days. So far, it looks like it is going to be a rough road.
