Well, today my Caleb went in for his check-up. We went to the clinic and they were able to take his height and weight. My little boy has gained 1.5 kilograms (about 3.3 lbs.) since last month, which is very good, but he has not changed much in height.
The nurse told me that I should watch how much I eat and make sure that I am eating nutritiously. I have to confess that I have not been very good at that :(. I need to be more attentive and start to eat more nutritious food. I feel really bad when the nurse asks, “Are you eating well?” I feel like a “bad mommy.”
Unlike when I was pregnant, now I am hungry, but instead of eating fruit or something “nutritious,” I have been eating desserts. So now I’m going to drink more water and watch my diet because everything I eat affects my little Caleb.

Ok, continuing with Caleb’s check-up... Caleb was very happy, playing and smiling at the nurse while she weighed him, measured him, and let him play, but everything changed when the time came for those dreaded shots.
My poor baby boy cried and screamed (with tears, so it was for real). It made me very upset, but I couldn’t do anything about it.
He slept the whole way home and then he was fine, until the afternoon... Even though I tried not to move the leg where he got the most painful shot, he moved it himself (well normally he never stops moving his legs!), so in the afternoon he started to cry and cry... Well I should say he screamed and screamed. His leg was so swelled up (and very red), and he kept on looking at me as if to say “Mommy it hurts.” We put warm rags on his leg, and little by little the swelling went down. After all of the tears, he finally fell asleep. He woke up complaining and crying until his leg went back to its normal color.
Since we got home we’ve put him in our bed, and he’s still in our bed now. It seems like his leg doesn’t hurt anymore, but he’s not moving much either... he’s a little more relaxed than normal. His eyes are heavy and he’s not smiling very much, but I think that I would be the same way if I had such a painful injection!

I think that tonight we are going to let him sleep in our bed so that we can make sure he’s ok during the night. Well, only if my husband says it’s ok. I think that I am a very worried and protective mother, but... He’s only 4 months old! :)
