2nd vaccination

Today, we brought Jayden for his 2nd vaccination. Unlike the 1st time, where we'd worry that
1) It's his milk time when the doctor sees him,
2) He'll start screaming and tearing the entire hospital down because he couldn't sleep,
3) He'll burst his lungs out crying after his jabs.
Today, we felt like confident parents for the 1st time.

After 4 months of 'wrestling' with our little terrorist, we finally got the hang of it, tho still amidst the sleepless nights, the joy he brings to us each time he flashes his gummy smiles is PRICELESS. :)

We took Jayden out for lunch in hope that he'd have a good nap before his appointment at KK hospital. WE WERE SO WRONG. Our restless baby just wouldn't sleep! We were worried that he'd get cranky as his appointment time draws closer.

The doctor did her routine check on Jayden.

At 4 months 1 week, Jayden was: -

Weight: 6.39kg (@ 2 months was 5.29kg)
Height: 62cm (@ 2 months was 59cm)
Head: 31.5cm


Doctor said his weight and height was at the 25-50th percentile. Not very promising for his weight hor. :(

Jayden was doing fine when the doctor examined him. Coo-ed, smiled and even did a short tap dance for her. (We were secretly thinking Jayden was trying to impress the female doctor. Hehe...)

So we thought he should be fine and even while we settled him down for the vaccination, he looked all cool and ready UNTIL the needles went into him and he was a goner, screaming on top of his voice. :( Chey...and we thought he's going to be a hero today.

Tonight will be the moment of truth. I really hope he doesn't catch a fever and sleep well. Let's just keep our fingers crossed...
