2 Months Old

I'm starting to lose track of exactly how many weeks old Ben is, but he's over 2 months now. Beth just told me 9 weeks and 2 days. A trophy husband can't be expected to remember everything!
Ben and I just went in for his 2 month checkup today. We got him naked and weighed him, 12 and 1/4 lbs (75th percentile), measured him, 23 and 1/4 inches (75th percentile) and measured his head, 39.5 cm (50th percentile).
Oh ya, and he got his shots. (Key the ominous "dun dun duuuuuh" music)
He screamed his head off for a few minutes, then his body shut down to cope with it and he fell asleep. He woke up twice the rest of the day for very short periods of time, but for the most part, he just slept.
As of 9pm tonight, his legs hadn't swollen (He got 1 in 1 quad and 2 in the other), but he was a bit warm. I wouldn't say feverish yet, but it's not uncommon if it does happen. We'll just have to wait and see. For now, fight on white blood cells, fight on!

Joshie and Dr. Beth! The site is great, Jord told me to look at it yesterday. Little Ben is oh SO adorable! A very late Congrats. Hope to see him next month maybe? Rumor has it the Czechs are descending on Madison around the 11th.... BEWARE.
Much love to all three of you.

The swing is set on 2. I might one day go as high as 6, but I really don't know what that might do to him.
