Second Consultatie Bureau Visit

This morning we went to the Consultatie Bureau for the second time. Duncan and Nana both came along as well, so got to see what goes on.

We were very excited about having Alex weighed again, because Nana thinks that he's grown heaps since she first arrived so we were disappointed to find out that he now weighs 5755 grams. That's a gain of 330g which is perfectly acceptable, just not as much as we thought it would be. His head is 2cm larger though (40cm), they didn't measure how long he was.

The main reason for the visit, and the worst part was that he had to have more vaccinations. Today he had two, one in each leg, and he really hated them. He was really upset (which of course upset Mum, Dad and Nana) and even cuddles from Mum and Dad didn't really help. We got him dressed and into the sling, and it wasn't until we were quite a way down the road that he started to settle.

Once we were home, he seemed to settle down, but then, all afternoon, he would cry inconsolably. Eventually he would fall asleep because he was worn out from crying, but then, it would all start again. Poor wee man!!
