Well today is the day... your first shots. It figures too because you are in such a good mood this morning! I feel bad that you might not be feeling so well for the next 24 hours. When we got there you were happy and smiling at your daddy and the doctor. He did your check up first and you are now 10lbs and 13ozs and 23 inches long! You sure are getting big! You are interacting well and the doctor is very happy with your progress!
Then it came to the part even I was dreading. The first needle you barely even flinched and didn't cry at all. I thought we were going to be home free with no trauma! (in hindsight I think you just wanted to prove that you want your ears pierced) The second needle went in alright but the serum must sting because you let out a cry like we have not heard yet! You poor little thing with real tears and everything. Luckily Auntie Dawn told me to have a bottle warm and ready and that seemed to help even though your still voiced your displeasure while drinking... You also gave the poor doctor a very unhappy look with your lip sticking out. Hopefully you will forgive him for your next visit...
You seemed to do pretty well when we got home. You were very sucky and wanted to snuggle all afternoon. I took your temperature often to make sure that it didn't get too high. I took it at 9:30 and it was normal and when I moved you at 10:00pm you were really hot! We stripped you down to your diaper and gave you a dose of tylenol. We gave you a bath but you didn't want that at all and cried the whole time. You just wanted to snuggle. Thankfully within about an hour your temperature was back down to normal. I was worried with how you would sleep at night but you did pretty well. You got up a little earlier than usual in the night and again the morning. I am very proud of how well you did!
