The Shot Heard Round the World

Yesterday our little man had his 1st round of shots and we survived! I think I was more panicky and upset than he was. Yes, he cried louder and harder than he ever has in his whole life, but he stopped crying a few minutes after I picked him up. Poor little man! After the appointment, he slept A LOT and I was sure that he would not sleep last night. He did sleep, but not well. He tossed and turned a lot and wiggled quite a bit! I woke up more than he did though to check to make sure his fever went down. His fever ran pretty high yesterday, but it was gone by this morning. He was so brave and I was so proud! I wish Justin could've been there....

Anyway, at the doctor's appointment we found out our little man is one really big boy. He's now 23 inches and weighs 12 pounds 3 ounces. He's growing like a weed making him in the 75th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. My 10 week old little man is just too big! Right now, he's eating 5 ounces at each feeding. He's eating about once every 3-4 hours (closer to 3 hours), which is about 5 feedings a day. He sure does like his food and as long as he keeps growing, I'll feed him as much as he wants!

Well, I better get back to life before the little spud wakes up. He's having a really really rough day and I'm hoping it gets better from here...it sure can't get any worse!
