A fever? Oh no!

Jacob had a very eventful week!

On Tuesday, he got his RSV shot and then on Wednesday, he had his well visit and got his 4 months immunization shots. Ouch! He didn't like it very much, but after I held him, he stopped crying in less than 5 seconds (the nurse was counting down to 1 after he gave Jacob the shot...haha)

The doctor said that Jacob is progressing very well. As a matter of fact, according to his weight, he is in the 1 percentile...he's finally on the charts! =) He weighs 11 lbs. 10 oz., is 21 3/4 inches long, and 15 inches for head circumference. In 2 months, he'll start on rice cereal...to be continued...he just woke up...i'll be back...

A warm bath and bottle did it, he's asleep! The doctor's visit went well. He'll be seen again in 2months. We discovered that his fever was directly related to the shots. It scared both of us to death, but we're all okay now...thank goodness for tylenol.


Dressed up for his RSV appointment. Right before we put him on the scale, he threw up about 3 oz. of milk all over himself...me too. It was everywhere! Poor guy...I felt bad. His weight was 11 lbs. 7 oz.
Dressed up for his well check the next day. He spit up again, but it was very little. His weight here is 11lbs. 10 oz. (add 3 oz. he lost yesterday!)

After he got his shots. His nub nub helped him fall asleep...oh and I changed his outfit to something easier to put on b/c he was already stressed out.
Home at last and ready for a bottle.

He wouldn't sleep in his bassinet. He wanted to sleep on my chest, but after a few hours, my body began to ache so I placed him right next to me on the bed. He was content, but it scares me to have him there.

You pictures are like a story book, I love to follow along. I hope Jacob is feeling better. We have been so busy getting ready for baby... that I have not had time to comment on your blog very often. I read it regularly, thanks for keeping us all posted. Do you see Dr. Millar? I was told he is not taking new patients. I am bummed.
