Wednesday was Jack’s one month doctor’s appointment. He got a great checkup and lots of praise from our awesome pediatrician, Dr. Chastain. I absolutely love our pediatrician. I mean, almost as much as I love Kerianne at my OB. Anyone who really knows me knows that is a lot! Our baby weighs 9 lbs, 13oz and is 22 inches long. That is the 50th percentile, which means he is an average baby – not overly big or small. He is already doing 2 month reflexes, which impressed Dr. Chastain. She said he was very alert and overall, she was very happy with his growth and development. Obviously, this made us very happy parents.
He did get a shot, which was more painful for me than him! All day, I thought I was going to cry, but when we got the appointment, I was totally fine. I thought I would be okay. But when he actually got the shot, and I saw his little face get bright red, I lost it. He only cried for a millisecond and then went right back to sleep, but it totally broke my heart. I didn’t realize how hard it would be to see him in pain. I know it was over quickly, but it still hurt – for both of us.
