2 Months, Plus
Today Erik has his 2 month check up... even though he was 2 months old 4 days ago. He is perfectly healthy!!!! He is 24 3/4 in. long and he weights 12 lbs. 11 oz. What a big boy! He had his shots today too which absolutely broke my heart. I hate hearing him even whimper, let alone all out crying. It was so horrible and thankfully we don't have to go through that again for a long while!
My mom and I stopped into Target in Keene today and I just had to look at the baby stuff, toys and all. Of course Erik made out like a little pirate with all his loot!
UPDATE:
This post was originally started yesterday, but I am finishing it up today because Erik had a bad reaction yo his shots. As if it wasn't bad enough getting poked and prodded and stuck 3 times earlier and bawling; Skot, Erik, and I spent from 11:30pm yesterday until 5:15am today at the Rutland ER because he spiked a temperature and because he is under 3 months of age his pediatrician wanted him to be seen ASAP. I am a firm believer of the phrase, "better safe, than sorry," but this excursion was ridiculous. Aside from the wait the exam room was unsanitary and dirty... there was practically a ring of dirt around the room on the floor, there was an open & previously used bottle of topical anesthetic on the counter, a used IV bag right on the top of the 'normal trash', a syringe cap on the floor, and the sterile packaging for something, probably a syringe on the floor. Due to spending an undesired amount of time in this disgusting room Skot and I began to question the cleanliness of the linens and decided to lay Erik on the bed on one of his blankets... who knew what the hell could have been on there.
He had to get blood drawn... The STUPID RN didn't get enough the first time before his little vein popped and they needed more blood. Though I was highly against the second attempt at this process the ER Dr. managed to persuade me to allow it by having two male RN's get the blood sample. This, though a tearful process appeared to be more well tolerated by Erik.
I was severely irritated prior to him getting his blood drawn because they put Lidoccaine on both his arms so that he wouldn't be able to feel the needle as much. HAH, that was a damn joke and a half. They said they would leave it on for 30-45 minutes.... ok, times two.
Before being discharged Erik had to get his temperature taken, yet again, and be given an antibiotic as a precautionary measure.
This adventure had me convinced that Rutland Regional Hospital is a fucking joke.

All generalizations are false, including this one.
A lot of people mistake a short memory for a clear conscience.
