Mommy No Shots!



London had his 2 month appointment with the pediatrician today. He weighs 13lbs 6oz and is now 24 inches (2 feet!) long. He is a very healthy boy. The doctor said he may be "tongue-tied". I was as a baby but they took care of it in the hospital. So, we are going to the eye, ear, nose, throat specialist to get it looked at to see if he'll have a snake tongue like mommy and his aunts. London had to get 3 shots today and take a liquid vaccine. I was dreading it. Before the doctor came in he was giggling and smiling at the zebra painting in the safari room. Minutes after she came in and started examining him he realized it was time to eat and began screaming. He even tried to suck on the wooden stick she used to look in his mouth. It was hard to communicate over his screaming but she said he is doing great. :-) I tried to calm him down while waiting for the nurse to come in and give the shots. I had London (in just his diaper) sitting on my lap as I read through the information on the shots. I was making him fist pump and chant, "no shots! no shots!" When the nurse came in he was already screaming. I held his hand as he got his shots and the crying turned into a high-pitched yell and I knew he was hurting. I held in my tears but wanted to cry so bad! :-( He got a few snoopy bandaids because he's a bleeder and we finally got to go home. I had to stop at 2 different stores to find baby tylenol only to come home and find that we already had some in our medicine cabinet-blarg! So far London is dealing with the shots fine and has been sleeping 7 hours straight the past few nights! I don't want to jinx it but I am loving how good he has been sleeping.
London and I are BFF's. Today I gave him a kiss on the mouth and he stuck his tongue in my mouth...haha! He's such a silly little boy and I love how much he loves me. I can make him smile and giggle with just a silly noise and it melts my heart. He's my favorite and the cutest baby on the planet! I can't wait to introduce him to his Uncle Josh, Aunt Sarah, Aunt Jess, Uncle Jason, and cousins Mason and Isla in a few weeks!
