Anyway, today we went to the health department to get Xavier's 2 month shots. Our pediatrician office had suggested on Thursday they might be cheaper since we had the little issue with Xavier being insured. I don't know how much it actually cost as the health department doesn't give you a bill right then and there, but hopefully it won't be too bad.
On Thursday at his regular 2 month check at the pediatrician office, Rob told me he was 11lbs and 22" long. Still doing well overall.
Today to get his shots, fully clothed and cloth diapered he was 12lb 4oz I believe and they didn't measure him. They only weighed him to know how much of the vaccines to give him. He did really well. They gave him an oral one that he actually swallowed down without too much fuss and he got two shots in one leg and one in the other. He cried as the shots were given, but by the time we got to the car he was fine and even coo-ed the whole way home.
They gave me a pamphlet to find out about getting him on TennCare, but none of the numbers they'll actually talk with me. They just say you have to put an application in. I tried to do the application online, but I'm not really sure how to do it for just a baby and not a whole household. I may go to their office in just a few minutes to talk with them about it.
Anyway, things are good.
This weekend Xavier finally got to meet his cousin, Samuel. It was a pretty special time of their lives as Samuel is almost 4 months and Xavier is still 2 months so the last in their lives that Sammy will be twice as old as Xavier. :) We got a couple of pictures, though the boys weren't overly interested in one another. When one or the other would cry they would show an interest. But mostly "meh. just another little person." LOL
I'll get pictures uploaded soon, hopefully. But I want to try to go run some more errands before it gets too late. Like checking on TennCare and I also need to speak with our potential daycare to find out their rates and possibly get on a wait list for May.
Edit a week later: Pictures!
10/13/12 Samuel looking interested in his cousin, Xavier, for all of 10 seconds. Xavier wasn't interested at the moment in his cousin or his aunts and uncle.
Xavier's not so sure about this floor thing. He doesn't spend much time on the floor at home at least. Sammy is not interested in his cousin.
10/15/12 Little did he know he was about to get 3 shots. He was a trooper though!
