So today was Micah’s 2 month well baby check up. We missed his 1 month and then there was insurance issues but everythings all dandy now. He weighs 13 lbs 4 oz and 23.5 inches long. Which puts him the 75th to 90th percentile for both height and weight. He is so much bigger then trinity was. At his point trinity could still wear newborn stuff and even a few preemie outfits but even better then that she could wear her build a bear outfits. (lisa, i snuck this in for you:) ) He has to see the physical therapist for the same head tilt issue trinity had. Poor baby got 3 shots today and screamed like I’d never heard him scream before. Total opposite of how trinity would react. She would cry until I picked her up then she was good to go. No not Micah he screamed until no sound was coming out and turned bright red with tears streaming down his face! It was so sad. It took what seemed like forever for him to calm down. Even with the bottle in his mouth he was pissed. I talked to his doc about his constipation caused from the switch to Soy formula. She said to give him prune juice and not to use the myralax anymore. He threw up the 1st few oz we gave him so we’ll see how this goes.
Also Micah has turned into the sweetest baby ever. He was so colicky! I had no idea what I was gonna do all I could think about was we are almost 1/2 way through this stage in his life. He started this stage at about 3 weeks and a few weeks ago I thought I was gonna kill someone it was so bad. But today boom he’s so peaceful! He played by himself in his bassinet for about 30 mins. until he started getting sleepy and then we just wrapped him up and put him in the bed room and just put himself to sleep! We have been beating ourselves silly trying to keep this child content and then today was amazing. I hope it lasts. I don’t know if it the Gripe Water he’s getting with every feeding or the Probiotics he gets once a day or just the way things were gonna turn out anyways but I could not be happier!
I got a call today from Kaiser and my appointment with the surgeon has been rescheduled for friday. Not happy about this especially since I’m haing attacks no matter what I eat. I’m so screwed. I have no idea when I’m gonna have an attack and vicodine is a joke!
Tomorrow (or today since it’s after 12am) is Trinity’s 2nd birthday! she’s such a big girl now! Bday party will be on Sat.

Great update. He is a big boy! Trinity was a tiny thing. Glad he is happier now. I wonder why he was so upset about the shots. I don’t like them either so I can relate…. But you know most guys are total whimps about getting poked and prodded. Girls seem to tolerate it or just get over it quicker…
