Two months old today! That is just crazy. Well we went to the Doctor today. Chance fell alseep in the car on the way over and was awake and alert by the time the nurse took him in to check his height and weight. He weighs 12 pounds and 3 ounces, I was talking to the receptionist about our new insurrance while she checked his height and forgot to ask but I am going to call tomorrow to find out just because I would like to know and I will share it with you all then. We waited in the room only a minute when Dr. Morgan came in. She checked his eyes and ears and listened to his heart all of which were in good working order. She said he looked wonderful and healthy and like a happy baby. He even made a couple little smiley faces for her, he was really good and didn't cry through any of the exam. Then came the shots...he received three shots today for a total of five vacinations. 1. DTaP = Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) 2. Hepatitis B 3. Hib = Haemophilus Influenzae which is a disease which causes among other things very bad ear infections and which can lead to Meningitis 4. PCV7 = Pneumococcal Conjugate which can cause lots of horrible things to happen to you and can also lead to Meningitis 5. Polio We are getting all the vacinations that his Doctor recommends because most reactions are mild and compared to getting polio (for instance) they are nothing also if people stop getting the vacines for these diseases then they will come back. So there he was laying on the table all happy and looking around, I held his arms with his little hands grabbing onto my thumbs, I talked to him and told him they were going to give him a shot to keep him a healthy little baby as the Doctor held his leg and gave him one stick in his left leg. He looked right at me and cried and then he stopped almost as abruptly as it started it was as if he was saying it hurt for a minute but he was tough. Then the Doctor held his other leg and poked it quick two more times and that is when he let it all out. His face turned red and got all scrunchy and he cried. She put bandaids on his legs, as soon as I picked him up he began to calm down and by the time I got him strapped back in his carseat and out in the lobby he was calm, collected, sucking on his pacifier. His next appointment is April 20th for his four month check up and more shots. He slept the whole way home, He seems a little more cranky kind of like his legs hurt he doesn't want to sit or stand he just wants to lay over my shoulder in a burping position to let his feet dangle but he is not as yet running a fever at all. I did give him Tylenol right before they gave him the shots and then again at 4:30p because he seemed cranky but I didn't give him any at 8:30p and he is now asleep for the night so unless he wakes up really cranky he probably won't need any more medicine. He is just such a good baby. I have pictures to go with this but the picture upload isn't working right now check back soon I will add the pictures as soon as I can. UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Finally I got the pictures to work!
