caleb's head ultrasound results were normal. whew! i wasn't too worried about it but during the ultrasound the technician was asking me questions like "was he a preemie?" and in my head i was thinking, "why? do you see something in his brain that would cause you to think that?". then she brought some random lady in the room just to LOOK at caleb. not to look at the ultrasound images but just to look at him and make small talk. meanwhile, i was just wanting to know what she saw in my baby's brain. thankfully, everything was normal and i was just paranoid.
my baby now weighs 11 lbs. 4 oz! almost twice his birth weight. what a little tub-a-lub! but the doctor said he's at the 50th percentile for weight. he is 23 inches tall which puts him between the 50th-75th percentile for height. he's doing good but still has reflux issues so he has to continue taking his meds.
i wasn't expecting it but since he was just a few days shy of 8 weeks they went ahead and gave him his shots. i cried. he cried. all day yesterday he was either sleeping or eating and when he wasn't doing either one of those, he was SCREAMING. my poor baby. john and i felt so bad for him. we gave him tylenol which seemed to help. today he is back to his normal self and this morning he was smiling and cooing at me while i changed his diaper. i was so happy. i'm so glad he is feeling better.

i cried too for the girls' first shots, it's so hard seeing your little baby being poked...nothing the boob didn't fix though. :) i'm glad that his ultrasound results came out perfect, but we knew that everything was okay too. ~shan
Its great to hear that Caleb is doing so well. I am so glad that the ultrasound came back normal. Shots are always so hard for the babies, but I think they are harder on us as Mommy's.
Yay Caleb!! I know the shots must have been tough. Especially because you didnt expect it- but theres no way to plan or prep for that :( It's just tough to see him so upset. And to see him feel like crap after stinks too but thank goodness for Tylenol. And glad to hear the lil head is in tip top shape! He is a doll!!!
I remember the heartbreak like it was yesterday. The good thing for us what that every set of shots has been easier and easier for Brixie Lee. I say that with HUGE worry because we're off to her 15 month appt and shots right now. But anyway, hopefully it will get better for Caleb too! By Brixie Lee's 9 month shots she only screamed during the actual shots. From there on she was just mellow. After her last set of shot, she actually played with the nurse that gave her the shots. Crazy Girl!!! Hopefully Caleb’s back to his old self now and you guys are just enjoying your days!
Love you!
Brix
