Ben weighed in at 8 lb 13.5 oz
He is 20 3/4 inches tall
This puts him in the 75th percentile for preemies his age. Keep on growing Benny Boy and you and daddy will be sharing that pepperoni pizza in no time! His weight right now is right in between mine and Pat's birth weights as Pat weighed in at a whopping 9 lb 3 oz when he was born and I weighed in at 8 lb 6 oz.
The shots today were not so fun....I only had him get half of his 2 month shots today so next week he will have to go back in and do this all over again but I just did not want my teeny tiny little boy getting too overwhelmed with all the vaccinations at once so I was "That mom" today.... "the first time, overly cautious worried mom" ... and decided to error on the side of caution. He has been sleepy mcsleeperson all day and when he has woken up he has not been a happy camper. We are hoping our happy alert boy is back in action tomorrow so that we can have a fun Labor Day weekend with him!
Nice job growing, Ben! My daughter also opted to break up the shots with her children. She felt much better doing that and they both are fully immunized. Don't worry about being "That Mom!" Do what you feel is right.
