Mom went back to work this week. There were quite a few tears shed the first morning leaving Kinley with her sitter. Kinley also wasn’t too pleased with the change at first, but by mid-week, she seemed to have settled into the new routine. She was even all smiles coming home on Wednesday.
Just Kinley and I went on Thursday to get her third RSV shot. I’ll probably be handling all her doctor visits and meeting with her physical therapist for most of the year.
They ask us to stay at least fifteen minutes after the vaccination and then they check her vitals before we go. It was a full house in the waiting room, packed with several other premature babies and their parents — including a couple friendly faces from our NICU stay.
While Kinley was still complaining about being poked, I pondered with her out loud if she’s just going to associate me with shots and doctors growing up. The other parents found that funny.
She’s closing in on 11 pounds now, weighing 4.94 kg and measuring 56.5 cm.
Her physical therapy is going fairly well. She needs to build up more of her arm strength to help with her rolling.
