2 Month Check Up

Oh we were so not pleased with this trip.

Right off the bat someone was a fussybutt. Normally the first thing he objects to his temperature being taken, but this time it started with getting him undressed. He squirmed and screamed and gave us the most horrible look. He was surprisingly okay with the temperature being taken this time.

When it was time to weigh him I completely freaked out. She put him in and said he was 10 lbs 12 oz. Well last Tuesday he was 11 lbs 5 oz, so I was shocked he had lost that much weight in a week and I was worried something was wrong. Luckily the nurse rechecked it and said it was her error and he was 11 lbs 12 oz. PHEW! And of course, like usual, he peed like a fountain out of the bucket seat of the scale, no surprises there.

Up next came the shots. 4 of them. He was not happy with them. He was alright having his legs stretched out for them but when that first needle went it he SCREAMED. The nurse who gave him the shots was a pro and got all four done within 12 seconds, going one right after the other and he didn't have time to get another scream out before she was done. Of course he was a disaster when it came to getting him ready to go, screaming while we set up the next appointment, screaming through the waiting room, screaming to the car.

As soon as we got him to the car and in his car seat he calmed down and within minutes of being in the car he fell asleep. Of course that sleep lasted about 4-5 minutes and he was up and ready to go again. I was expecting a disaster baby and him to be a pill the rest of the afternoon and well into the evening. Nope. He was all smiles and giggles, talking to us and acting like nothing happened. Of course that only lasted a few hours, before he did turn into that disaster we were expecting. He wailed on and off for about 3 hours, only calming down in the bath tub, but as soon as we took him out to get ready for bed he turned on us again. It was a rough night for awhile but once he calmed down we were able to put him down with his fishies, and after about 45 minutes of him talking to his turtle, he fell asleep and we were able to get some talking in and a couple episodes of Pawn Stars and fell asleep..

All in all it wasn't the worst doctors visit we've had, and I'm not at all looking forward to our next one!

You can't even tell he had 4 shots ten minutes ago!
