May's four-month check up

May went to the doc for her four-month well-baby check up on Monday. She's healthy as a horse and the doc was impressed with her size. Officially, she's 15 lbs. and 7 ounces and 25.5 inches, though I think she's really closer to 26 inches. She got four shots and screamed through each one.

Skip and Betty -- very generously -- drove all the way up from Connecticut to baby sit while Christopher and I went to Sandrine's for our seven and eight year anniversary. (We met on May 1, 1998 and got engaged on May 1, 1999.) Then, moments before we were going to leave, May started screaming, even when I tried to nurse her, which was singular. For a few minutes it looked like every sit-com was about to come true as the new parents try to go out for dinner and then can't because something's wrong with the baby. Happily, Betty's calm head and experieince prevailed, she figured out that May's thigh was simply sore from the shots (and I was holding onto that sore spot when I nursed her).
