We went for Rowan's two-month checkup today. He is 13 pounds 1 ounce. ("Wow, you've really grown!", said Dr. Zimmerman). All is well. He got three shots (containing seven or more vaccinations), one oral vaccine, a heel prick, and a belly button cauterization just for good measure. He's well on his way to immunity to mumps, measles, rubella, whooping cough, diptheria, tetanus, polio, chicken pox, rotavirus diarrhea, various strains of ear infections, and hepatitis B. Whew! Rowan cried during the heel prick and shots, but the rest of the time he was all smiles. I started seeing spots while the nurse was wringing blood from that tender little foot, so Grandmommy got to oversee the rest of the needlework while I laid down. I know, I'm a huge wimp. Hey, I'm making progress! Slowly. (Oh, and yes, for those of you who didn't know, Grandmommy is back visiting yet again so I can get a paper finished in time for a Friday deadline. We're SO thankful she is such a trooper for that 8-hour drive one way.)
