2 month shots

It's been a very hard day for both of us.

Yesterday was a great day.  Bingo laughed a lot, slept a lot, and overnight slept for 6 1/2 hours.  He was a bit fussy with his second morning nap. He must have known what was coming - his two month shots.

It's fun to make him sit up

Hurrah I had a good long nap!



The doctor's appointment went well.  He is now 11 lb and 2.5 oz.  He's gained 20% of his body weight from last time.  He is still in the 25th percentile for a formula fed baby.  He's in the 90th percentile for head size.

I was really freaked out for the shot. But Bingo was great when he got it.  He cried but only briefly and then he nursed.  He got one jab in each thigh.  And one vaccine was oral.  

A few hours later he lost it completely. And he just howled for 30 minutes straight and wouldn't be consoled.  He also wouldn't nurse.  I gave him some children's Tylenol which helped him a bit.

Here is a shot of him screaming


I was planning on coming to Alysha's but not sure if that was a good idea.  But he fell fast asleep in the car after a few red lights.

As I write this he's been asleep for 3 1/2 hours.  When he wakes Alysha will give him a bottle and I'll go for a walk.

I feel like I've been crying for days - so hard to watch him hurt.
