Apparently they have "mixed" ones where they can combine two shots into one, but they were out of them today, of course, so they all had to be separate.
I forced Jose to come with me, because it's not fair that I have to do them all. We were not looking forward to it.
We got there all anxious, but Luca is growing great, he is now 10lbs 9.5oz and 23.4inches long! Yes I'm aware he's still tiny--and I love it and an grateful because I get tired enough carrying him around--but from the barely 7lbs he was last time we were there--it's awesome!
He did so well for the doctor today and didn't cry at all while she checked him over. In fact he was laughing and smiling. He had no idea what was coming next.
And then. Shots. Two nurses came in to do them, so it was way faster than I thought it would be. They asked one of us to hold his hands, and I did not stand up. I just let Jose do that. I stayed on my chair behind the nurses. I did not want to see that.
Here they all are totally faking our child out that something great is about to happen....
Turns out. It is SO much easier to deal with shots when you don't watch your babes face. Of course it still breaks your heart to hear their sad sad cry but it's not half as bad as listening and watching. So that will happen each time I think. It can be Jose's job.
And our sad after shot. See his little tear?
It really was the saddest cry I have heard come from him yet. I am not looking forward to the next ones. No sir.
He did surprising well all day though, I took Sara's advice and gave him medicine before we went this morning which I think helped a lot. However. Next time. I will use the right medicine. And not Advil. Whatever. Tylenol, I got it now.
He just slept most of the day and ate, or just sucked on the bottle for comfort. He was a little out of it at first but not too bad.
He loves talking to his mouse.
We went to the gateway while dad had an interview and I exchanged a purse Jose got me for Christmas. I really did like it--but seeing how I will probably be carrying a diaper bag for the next 10 years I figured it was better to get something I could use now. And what better thing to get than my current obsession. Watches. Jose gave me one for christmas so I got two more.
They make me happy. And Sara wants me to set them to london time so we can always know what's happening over in that land.
Then we ran some errands, target and an oil change. He did well for everything!
While we were waiting on the car we watched ratatouille. Luca liked it. :)
When we got home dad found this awesome onsie Morgan got us and it finally fits him so of course we had to get some pictures.
Grant was begging to see Luca earlier today, so we facetimed him again after his nap--but really he just wanted to see the dogs. Haha.
I'm pretty sure he was crying because this was not a dog. So we found one for him.
And then he was happy again. He's so good at names now. He asked for whoever he wanted to see.
And he now says his last name--we worked on that last night. It's adorable. "Gant poi!"
We have kept medicine in Luca all day but I think he's done really well considering! We are also starting to add a tiny bit of rice cereal to his bottle to try to help with his spit up--I hope it helps!! We have done 3 bottles with it since his appt, and so far so good--let's hope it sticks.
