vaccinations

Sam had the injections yesterday (diptheria, tetenus, whooping cough, polio, haemophilus influenzae, meningitus and pneumonia) the 1st one made him cry a little and then the 2nd one made him scream :( it was heartbreaking for me! but i shoved my boob in his mouth (haha) and that comforted him alot! He was fine all afternoon but by 8pm he starting running a 100degree temperature :-( we have him Calpol (infant Tylenol) and he settled and cooled down. He slept well and seems fine today!

im too traumatised to write today...Sam has his injections tomorrow!

weekend!!

We just got back from Bluewater (big mall). We had a great day and Sam was good as always. He was sleeping for most of the time, but he did enjoy looking around from his push chair. He is now too big to fit into it when it's set up as a pram :-( so we have put the pram accessiories into storage for baby #2 (haha)! The picture shows Sam and his favourite toy...Steves moustache! he is facinated by it! laughing everytime Steve talks to him!!

So I booked Sams vaccinations for Tuesday...im nervous! I wish I could have them for him! The photos above were taken the other day (on his 2 month 'birthday') I cant believe how much he has grown! None of his 'newborn' things fit anymore :-( I tried to put him into the outfit he wore home from the hospital and it wouldn't even do up!! what a little fatty, he must be close to 13lbs now!! we'll find out on Tuesday!

Its tuesday

Sam and I had some photos taken in 'Bluebell wood' it is very beautiful there!! Sam wasn't too im pressed though! haha

this week

wow...i've been bad about updating this, and I really have no excuse as I have nothing else to do all day (apart from baby related stuff obvioulsy). This week Sam had his '8 week check'...I cant believe he is 8 weeks already, time has gone so fast! The check went really well. He is perfect. Bang on the 50th Centile for his weight (12lbs) and on the 75th centile for his head ...haha...he has a big head like mummy! (it's all those brains we have!!). The doctor couldn't believe how good he was, he didnt make a sound (apart from 'happy gurgles') the whole time, even though he had to get naked...which he hates! His heart and stomach are fine and she was pleased with, well, everything! I need to book his vaccinations which i am not looking forward to. I have been doing my research about which ones I want him to get and I am going to get them done at my UK doctors as the US ones seem exactly the same apart from with them he'd get the 'Rotavirus' one too...and since I didn't have it, and no one I know has had it he wouldn't be getting that one anyway. I really hope im making the best choice for him, I know a few people that didnt vaccinate at all....and that crossed my mind, but I have decided that he needs them. I have just read all kinds of things about 'heavy metals' etc in the vaccinations that has just made me worried, but I think getting some of those diseases would be worse!

Oh, another 'milestone' that Sam has achieved this week is ...*drumroll* discovering his fists! he has now clearly learnt that he has hands and has been staring at them in a confused way a lot in the last few days, it's very funny!

Its a new week

LOADS of photos today, these were all taken this morning. Its a lovely day, lots of sunshine. Sam and I are meeting the girls for coffee later this afternoon to compare stories of wee, poo, nappies and nipples! Isn't that whan mums of babies talk about??
