Benjamin weighed in at a whopping 12lbs 8oz, and is in the 95th percantile for weight. He is 21in long, putting him in the 35th percantile. So he is a little dumpling right now, short and fat. The doctor wasn't worried about his height, he said he'll catch up.
Benjamin also got 5 shots! And an oral vaccine :-( Many doctors combine the vaccines so you only get two shots, mine doesn't. Poor baby SCREAMED and Mommy cried. He was extremely sore last night so we gave him some Tylenol and a warm bath and he was ok. Felt like had a fever, but didn't so we just let him be without anymore Tylenol. He was still a happy and cooing baby, and wasn't lethargic like he had a fever.
His reflux is doing better, however his spitting up increased again, doc said it was because the dosage was too low considering his substantial weight gain. Hopefully the increased dosage will help things now.
In other news, Joelle is still battling massive migraines. Right now she has been drugged for two days in an attempt to work things out. Thankfully her awesome mom has been helping with the baby through the night. Please keep praying for her, that God would bring complete and total healing. If this medicine does not work our next resort is the hospital.
