That Nurse is Mean...

This week Noah went to the Dr. for his 2 month check up. After spending many days screaming at the top of his lungs for no reason at all, he behaved like a perfect angel for his Dr. She was very impressed. He is like a squeaky car that stops squeaking when you get to the shop...

Noah now weighs 12 lbs. 12 oz. and is 23.5 inches long. That means he has grown 1 lb. and 10 oz. and 1 whole inch in a month! He is in the average range for height and weight, evening out after being a very large baby. He was all smiles during the appointment until the end... time for shots!

He was given 1 oral vaccine and 3 shots. 1 of the shots was a combo of 4 vaccines so it could have been worse! As soon as the nurse stuck his first leg, he looked very confused and then proceeded to scream like I have never heard him scream before. It was a sad cry :( It was definitely different than his regular cries. After the mean nurse was done, I nursed him but it didn't make him feel much better.

When we got home Noah was already asleep and napped for a long while. When he finally woke up, he had a fever, a common side effect from vaccines. He had a fever on and off for almost 48 hours and was very sad the whole time. I could tell he didn't feel well and it really broke my heart. My poor baby :(

Luckily he feels much better now. Today he managed to poop all over at least 3 outfits (the day isn't over!), pee on both myself and his Nanny who is visiting. He was very happy most of the day and hung out with Nanny and Poppy and also tried out his bumbo seat. He is happily trying to eat his hand while he hangs out with his Daddy at the moment.

I am not looking forward to immunizations round 2 at the 4 month check up. It is sad for all of us but is very important for Noah's health so we will power through!
