2 months!
Jonathan is two months old today. Wheeeee! I took him to the pediatrician today. I guessed his length to be 22.5 inches and his weight to be 9 lbs. 6 oz.
His length was 22.75 inches and weight was 10 lbs. 6 oz.! He gained 3 lbs. 3 oz. in one month. That’s a 44 percent increase.
If my weight increased by 44 percent, I’d gain about 60 lbs.
I’m really proud of us both. My body has been sustaining him for what, 11 months now? Give or take.
He smiles at us more and when I stick my tongue out and make sounds, he smiles and tries to do it too.
His hair is getting longer and darker near the back, but it’s short on top. Looks like he’s going for that male-pattern baldness look. Or a mullet.
He got some vaccinations today. He hated that, of course. Whatever, little dude — a shot is better than getting polio or some nonsense.
To show my empathy, I went to the Walgreens “take care” clinic to finally get my flu shot. I had intended to get one while pregnant, but the midwife was out of them the day that I thought of it. Even though it’s late in the flu season, I can’t risk getting it since it would be really hard on my little bebe.
The shot felt like nothing. I used to whimper when I got shots. No more.
Oh, and congrats to my friends who have recently announced that they’re expecting! Lynn, Sally Ann and Ashley. Best wishes, y’all! I think they’re all due around the end of July/or August.
