Caleb is two months old

Caleb is two months old today so I took him for his 2 mo. check up. He weighed in at 12 lbs 4 oz, and is 24 in. long. I found out he is allergic to his diapers, the big pack my mom just bought up, so what a waste of money that was. The dr was very nice and I am glad we are going to her. The worst part was his immunizations. I thought for sure I would cry but I didnt. But Caleb sure did. He calmed down shortly afterward but he is a lot fussier than usual, which still isnt that much. I gave him a little tylenol and that put him to sleep. They also had to do a heel prick because apparently it should have been done at his 1 month check up and wasnt. They said no news is good news, so hopefully they wont call me back with test results! So my poor innocent baby had to be the victim of 3 needles. It was so sad, his pitiful little helpless cry. He got so upset that afterward he was breathing really fast but not crying, like it was too much to even cry. He doesnt have to go back until Dec. 10th so that is good. She said we will just have to be patient with his stuffy nose, said it takes longer for babies to get better and as long as he isnt having trouble breathing he should be fine. All in all it was a good drs appt, I was very impressed with the dr and the office. She all but offered me a job when I told her that I used to work in a drs office, she said to keep them in mind if I decide to go back to work, that they could use someone good at dealing with patients on the phone or in person, I was half tempted to ask for a job. But I told her I’d hate to have to fnd daycare. She understood, she said she has a 4 month old at home. Well I need to go hold my angel and keep him happy, I feel so guilty for taking him to the dr knowing they were going to stick him and that he’d be in pain all day. They said he should be his happy healthy self tomorrow. The dr was impressed with how much cooing Caleb did and how alert he was, which made me feel like a proud mommy. He laughed and smiled at the dr so I was glad. He seems to know what you are saying, he will stare at you and give you a wide smile and laugh. Yet other times he just watches you intently. Well Caleb calls…
