When Benjamin was about a week old, he had a doctors appointment for a yeast rash on his booty from something I ate. It went away in 2 days. At that appointment, he weighed 9 pounds and 3 ounces! The doctor said he was a healthy boy! :)
At 3 weeks, he went back to the doctor because he had the sniffles but ended up just being mucus in the back of his throat and he doesn't know how to clear it so, it'll seem like he has the sniffles for a while. The doctor also looked at his cord since it hadn't fallen off yet. He weighed 11 pounds and was 21 inches long.
At 5 weeks, my little man had his first check-up and had to get a shot and a PKU test. They pricked his foot for blood and IT WAS HORRIBLE!! He screamed and cried so bad. After that, he got his second Hep B shot (one at birth and one at 5 weeks) and that was no better. I had tears in my eyes because he was so upset. In December, he has to get more shots and this time, I'll probably wait in the lobby for Ben to bring him out. It hurt so bad to see him in pain. All I wanted to do was cuddle him and give him lots of love. I hurried to the car and fed him and he was fast asleep! I was so sad for him. I even had few tears for him. He slept for a while after that and didn't have to worry about the pain. The doctor gave him some baby Tylenol and he was out like a light! At this appointment, he was 11 pounds and 14 ouncs and was 21 inches long. His head measured 14 1/4 inches round. My baby is growing so fast!!
Well, since today is actually Halloween, I'll post a few pictures from the Pumpkin Patch that we didn't get to walk through. We went inside the building for pictures since it was sprinkling outside and the babies didn't need to be out and get sick.We definitely had a crowd of people taking pictures- and they turned out pretty good! And we actually got some cute pictures of Benjamin and his cousin, Nevaeh- their first pictures together- and a few family pictures!
