Jacob's Three Month Dr. Appointment
Not sure why, we I guess we figured we would be up anyway... Jacob's three month well baby appointment was this morning at 8:00 am. We didn't think we would need to wake a sleeping baby, but we did. Still not back to his routine, he had a feeding at 5 am and then was put back to sleep. So, we woke him up and changed him while the truck was warming up! He didn't fight us a bit which was good for all of us...
Jacob is doing great as he is getting bigger and gaining weight. His weight and height on right on the average line. He is now 13 pounds, 5-1/2 ounces and 24-1/4 inches long. The only issue that keeps occurring is gunk in his eyes and more so in his right. We thought that maybe the increase was due to him being a little sick since his mom and dad are. The doctor said that he has probably developed an infection and a resistance to the type of drops were using. So, a new prescription was written and filled. We may be fighting this for up to 9 months while the tear duct is clogged. It is possible that we may need to go to an opthamalogist to have the tear ducts cleaned out, but the doctor said that it is rare.
One thing that we have noticed in the last week or so, maybe two is that Jacob is definitely drooling often. Although babies start getting teeth around 6 months on average, it also common to have teeth come in as early as 4 months. So, I guess we just wait and see what happens. It is really hard to believe that our son may have his first tooth in a month!!! Things are definitely going by quickly and he seems to grow right before our eyes. Many have said they don't stay small for long and we have always agreed, but until you see a baby on a daily basis, you don't really realize the full meaning of the comment.
Oh, yes, Jacob did get a shot, but only one this time. At his 4-month appointment, he will have a replay of last month and get 4 shots again. He has been a little out of sorts today, but not near as bad as when he had the 4 shots. It could be because of the shot, but we think there is still some recovering going on from Christmas.
SO!!! Whew!!! Now I think I am all caught up with goings on of the Holidays so far. Nope, they aren't over yet though... We are heading to my mom's tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with her and my brother's family. Signing off for now...
