Shots...and not the fun kind

Today Jack got his 2 month shots (well, technically 7 week shots).  We were ready to head back to the pediatrician because the list of questions was getting long...but we weren't quite ready for those shots!  There are alot of things that Tyler and I aren't sure if they are normal or not.  Noises, grunts, congestion, a protruding belly button (yep...jack's got a herniated belly button), and baby bumps on the face.  Most of it is normal...even the belly which should go away by 6 months, but being our first baby we just don't know!

Jack did great!  I always heard it was harder on the mom than the baby.  The nurse gave the shots real fast and he cried for about a minute, but I was able to calm him down and he was good to go by the time we left the office.  And he got blue camo band aids, which were super cute!


Today, we were really interested to check on his height and weight.  He went down to 5lbs 14oz after he was born and was already small to begin with since he was a few weeks early.  He is growing on pace but just doesn't weigh as much as the normal 7 weeker.  Right now he weighs 8lbs, 12oz which puts him in the 5th percentile and he is below on height.   He has a ways to go, but the doctor says he's proportionate and he'll catch up eventually!

We've spent most of today cuddling with him on the couch.  Whenever he wakes up he's pretty fussy so we're trying to keep him comfortable...the kid had rough morning...we'll see how tonight goes!
