Brogan had his two month doctors appointment this morning. He is growing very very well; he's at the lower end of the percentile ratings for his age group BUT that's perfectly normal for a preemie. He's now at 10 pounds and 8 ounces, up from 6 pounds 6.7 ounces at birth! That's a increase of over 4 pounds since birth! He's also now 21 1/4 inches long, up from 18 1/2 at birth, that's almost 3 inches longer!! I don't remember his head circumference at birth, I'll have to look it up but it's up to 15 3/4 inches now.
He also got his first round of Vaccinations today, 3 shots and 1 oral. He liked the oral stuff, LOL probably cause it tasted good. The nurse said it's a lot like sugar water. Darrin held his arms and talked to him while he got his shots, and I did my very best not to watch and cry. I didn't succeed. I cried. He wailed, not the loudest he's ever wailed, but it was definitely a
'I'm hurt, what the fuck'
not the normal...
'I'm hungry; I'm wet; I'm bored'
that I'm used too. Now we're home. He's pretty cranky, and fussy, his thighs hurt as he got shots in both of them, he's been nursing on and off since we got back. I think more out of comfort than hunger, and I'm going to give him another dose of Baby Tylenol at 3:10. He also has a very mild case of thrush. I caught it before it was very bad, and the doctor got us some med.s for it. Should clear up in a week or so, not a big deal at all.
All and all, everything is okay.
