2 month check up

Yesterday Colin had his 2 month check up and shots. I had to go alone because Ryan had to work late and I was nervous about it ALL day! We get there and surprisingly didn't have to wait at all... which is unusual at our office!
We went back and did the usual weight and height check. Colin has gained a pound since we had his post op visit for his tongue! :) He is now 12.1 lbs and 24 inches long. I think they said his head was 15 inches in circumference. Doctor  came in and answered my a million and one questions. She said he was perfect and beautiful... all the things I'm sure she is supposed to say. Lol She did say that he had really good head control, which made me happy. Colin would NOT smile for her. He was very serious... maybe he sensed what was about to happen.

Then the trauma. The nurse came in to give him shots. :( Poor kid. He didn't even see it coming. He was staring at a poster on the wall kicking his legs all happy and then... he got stabbed in the leg. He whipped his head around and with this terrified look of shock and he screamed. He had almost calmed down and then... the second leg! :( That one was MUCH worse. His little face turned BRIGHT red and let out this little pitiful cry. The nurse said it was saddest little cry that she has ever heard! Lol. Even after the nurse left he was calmed down, but kept making these little pitiful noises. Ugh... it just broke my heart!

He slept on the way home and a little while after that in his car seat and then he woke up, like nothing had happened and was my normal happy baby!! He got lots of love and hugs from mommy and daddy and went to bed by 9 and slept relatively good and is napping now on the floor. (yes, on the floor... he has decided that his play mat is a nice safe place for cat naps during the day. He rolls over to side, sucks on his fingers and takes nap on his play mat.) So far he seems fine, so I think the doctor was right and it was much more traumatic for me than it was for him.

There are a couple things we have to watch on him to make sure they don't turn into anything serious and the doctor laughed at my bottle issue with him and said what everyone has said, "Don't worry about it, he will eat a bottle when he gets hungry enough, babies don't starve themselves. I have yet to see a baby come who has starved to death because they wouldn't take a bottle." lol
