2 months!

Hunter had his 2 month checkup today with Dr. Terwelp. I was not looking forward to this one because he had to get his first shots today. They give them 5 sticks and I didn't know what to expect but it went really fast and he did very, very well. It was much better than I expected. They also checked his bilirubin so his poor little heel got stuck AGAIN. He actually cried more for that than he did for his shots. One of the levels is still a little higher than they would like for it to be so we have to go back when he is 3 months old just so they can monitor it. After that he will go back at 4 months for more shots. :(

He is growing like a weed. His first scheduled appointment (that was unrelated to his jaundice issues in the beginning) was at 2 weeks old and he was in the 4th percentile for weight and length. Today he is in the 5th for length - 21.5 inches - and the...ahem...20th percentile for weight! He is up to 10.3 lbs. I guess we don't need to worry about him getting enough to eat!
