Immunizations

Alex was supposed to see the doctor last Wednesday for his 2 month old check up and immunization shots but since his doctor was ill, the appointment was pushed out to Friday.

The car ride to the hospital usually puts him to sleep and I always feel a bit guilty when I have to wake him up for his weigh in




Here's Matt with almost naked baby!


We usually try to schedule the appointments in the middle of his feeding schedule but the doctor is always running way behind and we eventually run into hungry time. We were saving a bottle for him during this appointment though, knowing he'd appreciate a little treat after his shots.

Here he is impatiently waiting for the doctor



His new stats are weight: 9lbs 5.4oz and 21 inches (38 cm) tall.
Getting bigger but still ickle!


I wanted to know his percentiles so I can enter them in the baby book but the chart he is on is not adjusted for preemies so he comes in as 2% for height, 7% for weight and his head is in the 28th percentile lol. It must be his big brain.

Here are some more shots from his check up.

Checking his heartbeat










He got a dose of a couple of medicines. The doctor said he would most likely spit it up but he just yummed it all up!



Here's a clip of him getting his injections.

WARNING!!!! Crying red faced baby in this video :(



After his shots we were able to give him a bottle. He recovered from his shots pretty quick and was all smiles when we left the doctor's office. He's so good!
