Immunizations :(

Austin was supposed to get his shots yesterday but we had problems with our insurance. I won't bore you with the details, but we had to go to the community clinic today for 2 of his shots that the pediatrician recommended so he can get on the plane on Thursday. We'll go back to his pediatrician for his other 2 shots and 2 month well check up with Dr. K when we get back. I'm actually relieved that we were able to break up the immunizations because I can't imagine giving them all to him at once! He has been SOOOO sleepy tonight/lethargic and fussy/whiny when he's awake- just not himself so I'm giving him extra cuddles tonight :(

Austin's Auntie Erin came with me to the appointment and I am so glad she did. First, it gave me some adult time (which I am craving!), plus I just like hanging out with her. It's nice to have a sister in law that I really enjoy spending time with and truly value our growing friendship. Also, she proved to be a witness! The pediatrician at this clinic commented how "advanced" he was! ha! That's our boy!

Here are some fun stats from our visit:

  • Austin now weighs 12lbs 1 oz - he is in the 69 percentile for weight
  • Austin's head is in the 55 percentile and she commented on how round it was- no flat head here!
  • And lastly- Austin is 24.5 inches long- that makes him in the 95 percentile!!! He definitely has Ryan's looooong legs, but I think he may also have my long torso!
Okay, I've got to go to take care of my little one I can hear him crying... I hope it's not a long night :(
