Yesterday, Hugh had his 2 month doctor's visit. He was 9 weeks and very healthy. He weighed 12lbs 12.2oz and was 23.75 inches long. He was 75th percentile for both weight and height. This visit, he had to get many vaccinations. He had to have a shot in both legs with 3 total vacs and then digest an oral medication for rotovirus. He took the oral medication fairly well and then there were 2 nurses to give him his shots. They do the shots simultaneously to ease the pain. Daddy Hugh and I held onto him very tightly, but our lil' man screamed bloody murder when he felt the pain. Poor guy!! Although, he did get two cute little bandaids. Daddy's quote, 'You got this -- suck it up little man'. Isn't he empathetic?? The Doctor forewarned us that the rotovirus can cause a fussy baby with an upset stomach, potential fever and a runny bottom for a couple of days. After the appointment, he slept three hours VERY soundly. When we got home, what seemed like a hungry cry wasn't a hungry cry. He didn't want anything to do with food -- which was a first for us. His tummy must have been extremely upset because he just screamed for an hour straight. We just held him and rubbed his lil' belly until he was somewhat soothed. Lucky for all of us, that appears to be the only side effect. We had a normal overnight with him falling asleep around 11p and waking up twice to feed at night. He has been a happy little boy all day. TGIF:-) We are looking forward to a low key weekend.
