Pediatrician appointment today

I won’t get any flack for refusing the hepatitis b vaccine, but he will be getting his first round of vaccines at 8 weeks rather than 12 weeks.  I dread that.  I have a ton of research to do in the meantime.  I’m not anti-vaccine.  I just worry because he is still so little.

Lucas’ stats:

Height – 20 3/4 inches (birth 20 inches) —–  25-50 percentile

Weight – 7 lbs, 5 oz (birth 6 lbs, 2.3 oz) —– 5-10 percentile (dern, but this isn’t the premie scale)

Head cir – 35 1/2 cm —– 10-25 percentile

Lucas has some catching up to do.

Breastfeeding is going ok with nipple shield though today only did it three times out of the 8 times total.  I was so busy with the doctor’s appointment, etc…

Last night was our first night alone.  Hubby was out-of-town.  We spent the night downstairs – me sleeping on the couch and him in his bassinet.  We did quite well…  I fed him the 4 hour plan twice and got more sleep.  I felt pretty good today!
