First Vaccine Appointment

Guess who is 9 lbs 2 1/2 oz? Will had his first vaccine appointment today and we were all shocked with how much he weighs. He has gained almost 4 lbs in the 8 weeks he has been around. We were guessing he would be around 8 lbs; boy were we wrong. That goes to show what a good eater he has become. He does like to spit up a lot but it is of no concern since he is gaining weight as well as he is and does not seem to get distressed when he spits up. He had a clean bill of health today and had to get 3 shots and a liquid vaccine.

The Tray Of Vaccines

He drank the liquid vaccine very well; apparently it is supposed to taste sweet and salty. He then got 2 shots in his right thigh and 1 shot in his left thigh. He screamed and turned bright red in the face for about 10 seconds. Then daddy picked him up and he calmed right down and was asleep by the time we put him in his car seat. We think he took his shots like a champ. He has had an exciting couple of days. He had to go and get some blood work done yesterday. He barely even cried while the technicians tried to hit his little vein. This morning he had his pediatrician appointment and this afternoon he has his 2 month eye checkup. Hopefully after today we will not have to go to see the doctor until his 4 month checkup on May 6.
