Once again, we went back to the pediatrician today, this time for his one month checkup. Karston's 9 pounds 3.3 ounces, 21.25 inches long, and 14.5 inches head circumference. Those numbers are normal, and all of his newborn test results came back normal. For medical things, normal and boring is good. ...And then there was the second Hepatitis B shot administered today. To deal with the crying, I had to remind myself that hepatitis would be awful for an infant. He cried for the shot, then quiet, then loud crying while I switched an appointment, then finally quiet in the car on the way home, then crying loudly each time he woke up.
No wonder size N diapers are getting small, though. They're rated for 6 to 10 pounds, and he's past 9 pounds.
We had a baby first yesterday, but not the good kind. I burped him after his 9 AM feeding, and ended up with baby barf down my back on the third pat. Everything got a good shower after that yesterday: Karston, me, our clothes, and the nursery carpet. The pediatrician isn't worried about his health, so it's just one of those things. Some days the baby's just going to vomit. On me.
The night before last, Karston was lying down with his daddy, waiting for me to finish getting ready for bed. Karston opened one eye just a slit, saw Daddy, hiked one leg, farted, and took one more peek. I would have thought he was too young for me to say this, but: Yes, he's a boy.
Don't get me wrong, though: I still think he's the cutest!
