Shots

On Friday afternoon Baby J had his 2 month check-up at the doctor.  He is 22 1/4 inches long and now weighs 10 lbs. 11oz.  We can feel his weight gain in our upper backs.  He is still considered a little guy, currently in the 25th percentile for height and weight.  This appointment included vaccinations.  After being examined his adorable, chubby thighs were pulled out of his striped sleeper and shots were given into both of them.  The nurse and Dad held Baby J still, while Mom wept in the corner.  Hearing your baby scream is just the most awful sound!  He was quickly comforted with lots of cuddles and a dose of Tylenol.  Thankfully he showed no reaction to the vaccines, besides sleeping a little more than normal the following day.  Now we have 2 more months before returning to the doctor for more of those dreaded S-words.
