Getting Bigger

Last Thursday we had a our 2 week doctor's appointment. They took blood for Hepititis and then gave a shot. Not exactly sure what the shot was for. The way that they take blood on babies is hard to bare. They prick the heal of the foot and they milk the blood out. Jett's has had this done 3 times and his blood does not flow. Donnie was there for the first two and he was pretty ticked off. Me, I didn't like it, but I figured that was the only way to do it. Jett screamed bloody murder. It is really hard to watch, because you can only hold their hand and talk to them so that by chance, they can hear and relate to your voice and that everything will be OK.
This last time, Donnie did not sit in the room with me, it was probably a good thing, he may have jacked the nurse!! So, he went to go pick up my breast pump!
After they took blood and gave him his shot, you just want to hold him so tight, and I did. He was so traumitized, that as soon as he felt me, he stopped crying!!
On the good note, Jett gained a little over a lb. so he is now 7lbs 7 ounces. Jett looks really healthy and no major concerns. Now we don't go back for another 2 months.
Although, we do have to go get a scan done on Jett's hips. Being a breech baby, the hips sometimes do not develop correctly, so Dr. McGonnell wants to be sure that he is perfectly fine, so we go in for that March 14th. Dr. McGonnell checks his hips all the time he says they feel fine, but never can be too sure.
