Second Month- First Shots

Today Breydon is 2 months old! He has his "2 month well child" appointment this afternoon, and it went... well, it went.

We got there, and went right back, which was nice. Breydon was sleeping away, unaware of what was about to happen to him. Dr. Eckart weighed him, (10.13 Lbs, by the way, 21.5 inches long) and then checked him out. He looks good, very healthy. She mentioned that she couldn't find his neck under all those rolls and cheeks. :) ANYWAY, then she checked his poor weenie. LAST TIME we were there, his circumcision had grown back in one spot so I had to put hydrocortozone cream on it, every diaper change. I had been. But today, she decided to just break the skin right then and there. He wasn't expecting it-- neither was I for that matter. My sweet little  boy SCREAMED...  I got watery eyes, watching him cry in pain... ugh. It wasn't fun. But the fun doesnt end there--- they couldn't get it to stop bleeding so they cauterized it. Once again, it caught him off gaurd and he screamed... poor little guy wasnt even crying a mad cry it was a "Why did you let them do this to me, Mommy" cry. (At least that sure is how it FELT). But... after the Tylenol he was okay. Then compared to that his shots seemes like a piece of cake. He's got two big boy band-aids on his legs, and Im not taking them off till they fall off. Since we have been home, he hasnt developed a fever or anything like that... he just randomly cries and once I pick him up, hes pretty good. 

Now we wait for 4 months, and we can do it all over again!
