Yesterday Dirk and I ventured for an early 2 month check-up. Early-ish because we are headed up to WA and I wanted to make sure he had some antibodies built up against the plane germs we were bound to hit on our Southwest flight. So at 1 month 17 days Dirk got his 2 month shots with the blessing of our Pediatrician.

Along with the regular check-up above he received four shots and one oral immunization. I thought the first shot at 1 month was bad… poor Dirk he didn’t even see it coming! He turned purple and scrunched his face up as tight as he could and uttered a really low groan of pure pain. He was a trooper and only did that for the first couple of seconds… the rest were filled with tears and a look of what I am stating as “WHY MOM?!?!”… it tore my heart to pieces.
Yesterday was full of cuddles on the couch, endless trips of walking around the dining room table, and lots of BIG mom hugs. My boy felt awful. A small dose of children’s Tylenol helped him sleep well at night though… I’m sure he was exhausted from the day, as we both were.
This morning we felt okay for awhile… I was actually thinking that we were feeling ALL better until about 10:30AM. Cuddles and Tylenol are helping but he is still noticeably in pain. Hopefully we feel better tomorrow AM because we are taking our first flight to go visit the family up in WA state. Gabe will get to catch up with us in a couple of days.
My boy is growing up REAL fast… kind of want time to come to a halt… for a little while… because he is getting SOOOO big… he definitely doesn’t look like a newborn anymore(sigh)…
Clothes that fit? Size 6 month and up. Not because he is round, he is just long and lean. I have packed away all of his Newborn clothes and now a sizable chunk of 3 month size onesies and sleepers are retired. Thinking we will have to actually buy some clothes soon… didn’t think that was going to happen for months! <3 Growing Up <3
