Believe it or not, our little man turned 2 months old yesterday. He also had a check up, which included immunization shots.
The doctor said he's looking great and is growing perfectly. He now weighs 11 pounds 7 ounces. He's 23 1/2 inches long now.
Koen handled his shots as I'm sure most 2 month olds do and of course cried. I didn't think it would really bother me as I saw him get poked several times when they had to keep testing his jaundice numbers. But I did end up getting a little teary eyed. I just feel for him because he doesn't understand why he's feeling that pain and it definitely doesn't feel good. Thankfully, he calmed down not too long afterwards. I think it helped that we had a bottle there for him. But the worst part about the shots were that it gave Koen a fever yesterday and he didn't seem to feel well the whole rest of the day. He lost his appetite and only wanted to sleep. He would wimper quite a bit as if he just aches. I felt so bad for him all day.
We gave him a little bit of baby tylonol last night and I think it helped.
He seems to be doing much better today too. He's eating better and is in a happier mood. He still woke up with a little bit of a fever, but I think it's going down. I'm just glad he seems better.

Autumn got her shots Friday, she reacted worse that any of our kids have, ugh. She just cried and screamed for several hours! I gave her some Tylenol before bed and that seemed to help calm her down a bit. She still is not eating or sleeping very good, but hopefully will be back to herself soon! Hope Koen is back to himself quick, too!
I always dreaded when my babies had to get shots. It was hard to watch. It made me a little teary eyed too. Thankfully, they got over it rather quickly.
I hate it too. A 19 year old understands that this small pain has a good purpose, but those little babies...I felt like Rees was wondering why I wasn't protecting him.
In my ideal world, Jeff would be the one to take our kids for shots but in my ideal world, Jeff has a job so he probably won't be able to do the doctor appointment. :)
Do you remember what percentage Koen is in? I don't remember what are the averages for height and weight.
I'm glad that he's doing better now. How do you like being a Mom?
I like your new background and new family picture.
