Baby Update-4/5/2010

Soooo, we had Alex's 8-week check-up on Friday (4/2). It was set for 3:20, but I got a call early in the day to reschedule it for 2:40. No problem; it's not like I'm booked up or anything. We get there 20 (maybe 30) minutes early and don't get seen until about 3:30. WTF, people? Frustrating....

Anyway, Alex is doing great! The nurse was taken aback by his weight. I got "What are you feeding this baby??" from pretty much everybody, which I expected. He was a doll for the whole appointment, very responsive to the doctors and nurses up until he got his shots. He didn't really like anyone for a couple of minutes. He stopped crying the second Daddy picked him up, though. We picked up some baby Tylenol from the pharmacy, but we've hardly had to use any; no fever, no fussiness from anything other than his normal needs. He's a real trooper.
