The First Round of Shots!!!!

Today Brady had his first round of immunizations (outside of the ones given right after birth). They were supposed to be when he turned two months old, but with our vacation we are now running a little behind (Bman turns 3 months old this Tuesday). Unfortunately Dad had to work today so mom had the pleasure of witnessing her little man get stabbed. After watching the circumcision I thought I could handle the shots, but not so much. I hate to see the little guy in pain. We started off the appointment really well. Brad y got weighed in at 14 lbs 12 oz and measured 24.5 inches. The doc said he is in the 95% for both height and weight and if we extrapolated his height he's going to be as tall as daddy (keeping fingers crossed for this once since I'm a midget). Doc said he also has a great temperament and is easily adjustable to situations, I'm thinking thank God since I have to go back to work next week. He even smiled when the doc stuck the stick in his mouth. He did so well and then the nurse came in with the needles and oral vaccines. He had three shots, two in one leg and one in the other. He screamed after the first and really started to cry after the second one. Luckily he calmed down and was out for the count shortly thereafter. He slept all afternoon and I'm keeping him on Tylenol to try and fend off and any fevers, keep your fingers crossed.
