Ryan’s 5-week check-up

Today was the first time I had to take both boys out by myself.  It wasn’t bad at all!  I went over the rules with Nicky before we left and he was very good.

Our big boy is now 12 pounds and 23 and 1/2 inches long!  I checked back at Nicky’s stats for this visit and he was 12 pounds 14 ounces.  Dr. Shin was happy to see the weight gain – he’s clearly getting enough to eat!  :)

At the end of the appointment, Ryan had the second vaccine in the Hepatitis B series.  He took it like a champ – he cried until I picked him up and then he was fine.  We came home and he ate; he’s pretty much been sleeping ever since, but I seem to remember Nicky doing the same thing when he had his shots early on.

Also, he can probably use the rest because he’s been awake lots this week.  Not at night (he still gets up only once, anywhere between 4 and 6 am), but during the day he’s been awake for more than just eating and pooping.  I’m glad because I like to watch the boys interact with each other.  Nicky loves to hold Ryan on the Boppy and to hold Ryan’s hand.  Ryan likes to have his feet played with, so if he’s fussing, I’ll have Nicky play with his feet and he’ll calm down.

We are really blessed to have such healthy and happy little boys!
