Today Dominic is 2 months old and he had his well baby check-up today. He is 12 lbs 13 oz and 24 in long. That's basically the size of a 4 month old, no wonder no one who sees him believes me when I tell them his age. He did really good. He didn't like being stripped and put on the scale and he cried a little bit. Especially when the bitch had me hold his head against the edge of the scale so she could measure him. I didn't like her at all. She was really ignorant. She measured him and all and then didn't even tell me what he was, I had to ask. Then Dominic started peeing all over the place. And I was standing by his head and his diaper was at the other side of the scale and I couldn't reach it. I was about to get his diaper to cover him so it didn't get all over the place, but she was standing in my way. She didn't even move, all she did was stand there and say 'ooh he's peeing' like 4 times. I mean what did she want me to do, cover it with my hand? Then the pediatrician came in and did the physical exam. He said everything looks good and he is perfectly healthy. Although he does have cradle cap. It looks really nasty, but isn't that big of a deal. Then I had to go and get a record started for him and wait to get his shots. He got 3 today and he did not like that one bit. When I put him up on the table and took his pants off so that lady could stick his thighs he woke up really cranky. He started crying before he even got the shots. And once he got the shots he started screaming. I wanted to cry, it was so sad to watch. He would get stuck, scream, then cry, get stuck again, scream, cry, get stuck again, scream, and cry. But once I picked him up he stopped crying and then I went to the pharmacy to get the Tylenol infant drops. While I waited for my number to be called, I put Dominic in his stroller and fed him a bottle. He went to sleep as soon as he got in the car and he's been asleep ever since, almost 3 hours. But he did wake up for a half hour to have a bottle and so I could give him some Tylenol. This isn't like him at all. Normally he takes one nap in the morning for like an hour and a half and then has a few naps during the day, but none longer than 30 min. But I figure he hasn't had any shots since birth and this is his first time take Tylenol, so I'll let him sleep for now. I just hope he sleeps good tonight and I'm not up all night with him. BJ got underway yesterday, so he missed today's festivities. He won't be back until the 24th. I'm kind of nervous about being by myself with the baby for that long especially since his sleep has been messed up and I'm just now starting to get over being sick and I still feel like crap. So on Saturday I'm driving up to my mom's house in PA. I feel bad about that b/ I should be able to take care of my son on my own, but at least up there I'll be able to take a nap when I want to. Everything else is going good. BJ and I are doing great. I love him now more than ever. He's such a great dad and he's so good to me. I just hope that Dominic doesn't do anything new while he's gone. I know that BJ is going to miss a lot, but I hope he is here for things. He's going to be gone almost all of March and then from May to July. He might not miss much in March unless he hasn't rolled over by then, or learned to sit up. But Dominic will be 6 months in May, so BJ might miss him crawling for the first time and possibly standing up. I hope not, I want BJ to be here for everything, I mean he did miss the birth. But I know that isn't realistic for a navy man. Alright let me stop thinking about this before I get upset. I hope everyone else is doing good today.
