Yesterday Kade and I had our post-delivery check up. Zack and Shaylie were able to go with us. They weighed me first...ick...took my blood pressure then measured and weighed Kade. At 7 weeks old he is 22 inches long and weighs 11 pounds 4 ounces, almost double is birth weight! His head measured 14 1/2 inches. For height he is 31%, Weight 57% and head...6% :) just a short, fat, small headed thing! Doctor checked all his other parts (ears, nose, mouth, spine, hips, feet, soft spots, etc) and he was perfect! After cluing us into what he should be doing in the next few months, It was my turn. Zack took Kade out to change his diaper, so Shay stayed in the room with me and read a book (green eggs and ham, she loves "cat in the hat" books!) Long story short, I'm healing great! When they were done Zack came back in and asked the doctor to look at Kade's circumcision. Doctor Taylor said that part of it was starting to connect again and he and Zack took Kade into the room next to ours (while I changed back into my clothes) to fix it. I could hear him crying through the wall and it broke my heart! I came prepared for shots but not that! I, of course, started to cry but had to be composed for Shay. Zack brought him back in all calmed down. I was not happy with myself (kind of figure it to be my fault...) but Zack is good at making me feel better. Then our nurse, Lisa, came in to give Kade his shots. she gave him the Rotavirus first, which was oral so that was nice. Then he got three shots in his legs, HIB, PVC, and Pediarix (DTaP, IPV, and Hepatitis B). He screamed like he was dying. But he calmed down quickly. I gave him some Tylenol before we got there, so I'm making my self feel better by saying it helped. We scheduled our next appointment for June 8th (when he's 4 months old). We dont think we'll still be here then but, we'll see! I also got a prescription for new birth control, which I'm pretty nervous about. Doctor Taylor said, these are pills that you CANNOT miss. Its the mini pill so its different than the one I was taking before. I'm just terrified of getting pregnant again. Which reminds me, I need to write down Kade's birth story. I've already written it down on paper, but I need to get it onto the computer. Hopefully soon, so all will know of that great adventure!
After the doctor, we went to our neighbors for a surprise birthday party. We didn't stay long because I think the pain finally hit my poor baby. Kade started to cry and didn't stop for about 2 hours. It hurt Zacks heart. You really tell the difference between cry to get something, and crying in pain. He was hurting. Shay fell asleep around 9. She's been showing signs of getting sick again, and I'm not excited about it. I feel bad for her. Luckily, she's learning how to blow her very well, so that helps! She told Nana on skype that "Shaylie's nose sick. Mommy's neck sick too. Yeah." She's so cute. Tonight we actually had to put the humidifier on and fill the room with Vicks medicine stuff. Hopefully it helps. Lincoln and Audree were here tonight, to visit, with both us and each other. I'm excited for them to get married. They really are happy with each other. My Aunt Denise (audree's mom) called me tonight and we talked for a good bit. She's such a wonderful person too. I've been blessed with good family members. I miss my mom a lot when I talk to Denise, even though I just talked (and saw via skype) with my mom earlier today. I"m so excited to see her in less than a month! She bought her tickets and will be out here on the 27th of April!
Another day done! Bring on the night!
