2 Month Wellness

This morning Jaxon had his 2 month appointment. I have been dreading this appointment because he had to get his first round of immunizations, 3 shots and an oral medication. First, Dr. Rogers came in and showed us how our "little" man is comparing to other 2 month olds. Jaxon now weighs 13 lbs 5 oz and his length is 25 in. That means he is in the 82nd percentile for weight and the 97th percentile for length. Such a big boy! We have noticed recently that Jax isn't turning his heads towards loud noises, which has us concerned. We shared our concern with Dr. Rogers, he said to keep a close eye on this and to report back to him at our 4 month wellness. If we don't see improvements then he will do a hearing screening. Other than that concern Dr. Rogers says all is looking great.
Now for the shots. Two nurses came in to administer the immunizations. The first nurse gave Jaxon a liquid which he did not like at all. He choked and gagged for what seemed like eternity. This of course had Wes and I worried. Eventually, however, Jax calmed down and the nurse gave him the remainder of the liquid. He did much better taking the second half. The shots weren't nearly as traumatic for me as I thought they would be. They did 2 shots at the same time, one in each leg, and then quickly administered the third shot. Jaxon gave a couple good yelps, but calmed down quickly after being held and offered his pacifier. I think giving him a little Tylenol prior to the appointment helped a bit. Jaxon doesn't go to the Dr. again until he is 4 months. I cannot believe how fast time flies when you are having so much fun.
