We had our 2-month-old doctor's appointment today! If you have little ones...you know what this means...SHOTS!!!
Well, first we want to update you all on Carson's stats...He now weighs 13 lbs, 2 oz and is 23.5 inches long! He is in the 90th percentile for his weight and the 75th percentile for his height. The doctor said he is definitely not malnutritioned...he's the size of a 4-month-old!!
So after an exam by the doctor, the nurse came in to give the shots! Cindy immediately handed Carson off to Johnathan and we all prepared for the screams! Carson received 3 needle shots in his legs and one liquid shot...not the alcoholic kind, although it probably would have helped the little guy!! Daddy had to hold Carson down, Carson screamed bloody murder, and Mommy cried!! It was all over quickly though and he held Mommy's hand the whole way home and finally fell asleep. Thank goodness for infant Tylenol!!

Shots are the worst! Unfortunately the shots don't get any easier as they get older. In fact, it gets worse when they are old enough to remember what happens when they go to the doctor!
Oh! I used to cry too. This last flu shot it was just me all by myself and a child that doesn't want to be held down. It sure doesn't get any easier but luckily it doesn't last long.
I just checked Drew's growth records...he was 13 lbs. 5 oz. at his 4 month visit. :) But, he was an inch longer at that point, too.
