Tucker's 2 Month Visit to Dr. Gray

We went to see Dr. Gray today for Tucker's 2 month check up/immunizations! He weighs 12 lbs. 9 oz. (after eating a couple of ounces in the waiting room-hehe), his head measures 40.5" and he is 22.5" long. He is in the 50th percentile in all categories! He is just your average kiddo! He was soo good, despite the fact that he had been a little more fussy than usual after not having had a poo-poo yesterday! Well, at least that is what we guessed was the problem! Who really knows! He just kicked and cooed on the examination table. I think he liked the sound of the paper he was crumpling as he kicked-hehe! When Dr. Gray came in Tucker just stared at him the whole time! Then, time for shots! The first was given by mouth--he did really well! I then was instructed to hold his hands while the nurse held his legs--he got a little fussy with this--and then the first shot! First there was silence while he was in shock and then a blood curdling scream. This then led to more silence because he was crying so hard that he would not take a breath! In the midst of this silence, the nurse managed to administer the last two shots. And then I was able to cradle him as he continued to cry but also calm down! Tears were running down his cheeks and his eye lashes were soaked. He was also hoarse from crying so hard! Poor baby! But I got him into his favorite position against my chest, gave him his pacifier and he started to close his eyes! What a good boy! He really did very well! I gave him some tylenol at home just to help ease any pain he may have had from his shots! He pretty much slept all day with a few awake moments. I think he was exhausted from his traumatic experience!
