string bean boy basking in the heat lamp before shots
GOOD NEWS
8 lbs 5 oz (2 lb gain in 5 weeks)
22 inches long (1 inch growth in 5 weeks)
Ahead in motor skill development for a preemie (on track for a term baby his age)
BAD NEWS
Ear infection (treating with antibiotics)
Slight weight loss from 8 days ago (probably due to puking)
4 shots, 2 in each thigh (painful for Booker and Mommy!)
upset boy after shots
So, we'll have a cranky boy for another day or so and then he should start to feel better, stop puking and start gaining again. We'll go back for another weight check next Tuesday.

The 2-month appointment is my least favorite. First, congrats on the nice progress - great weight, great growth and awesome on the motor skills!!! Yes, the ear infection is a bummer for sure but the meds will make such a difference for him. He'll be a new baby! And, the shots were traumatic for my big boy and Josiah took it in stride. I love the little Soothie picture and am glad the Bookers took a nice nap. Nap time is SACRED in our home!!
