2 Month Shots Day :(

Today was a sad day in Austin's World..... his turn to receive his 2 month shots!! I had anxiety about it all night long, and finally the day came. He woke up in SUCH a wonderful mood- he smiled, ate breakfast, took bath... smiled even more... it made me feel even worse about what I knew was to come!

At the doctor's office he had an amazing check-up though. Doctor said he was a "big-boy" to say the least, but perfectly healthy!! He is totally on breast-milk for now (every three hours... or longer when he can last) and when he turns 4 months we can start him on rice cereal. His weight was 15 lbs 10 ounces and 24 inches in length !!

Three of the immunizations were administered by mouth in a thick, sweet medicine, and the other three were by injection. The first injection he cried for just a second, but was able to be soothed with his pappi, and the other two weren't so good. His bottom lip came out... he got as red as a hot tamale... and he started SCREAMING!!! He cried all the way home! It was over though, and no matter how bad it hurt it was nothing a little breast-milk meal couldn't soothe!! :)

It's 6:30pm and so far he's been handling it okay. He's been on tylenol every 5 hrs and been able to take a nap. I'm not sure... but now I'm beginning to feel that it was worse for me than it was for him!! It's apart of life though... so ROUND ONE WE ARE DONE!! :)
