Parenting after a Loss

Update #2: Wish us luck!

Today is nerve wracking! At 11:30 Raylan goes in for his 2mo appointment, I'm so dreading the shots!  I just hope they don't hurt him afterwards... I really can't stand to see him in pain.  Then after that I have to go back to my OB because after 2 straight weeks, 3 kinds of antibiotics and boobs that have almost completely dried up... I STILL have a red hard painful/itchy lump on one boob.  I'm just really hoping it's not an abscess that needs to be drained... but I haven't been able to get any more old milk out of it in the last few days, so I'm worried that it is.  I've had one before on my arm in college and it was brutal... but we shall see.  Hopefully all the appointments go well!!

Update #1: We are back from Raylan's appointment and he did great... although it absolutely hurts my heart to see him cry from pain, he's just been asleep since then.  He's growing really well!!  He is 23 1/4" tall, 12.02 lbs and his head is 40cm... his head size is in the 86% so I'm hoping that means he'll be big and tall like daddy! 

ETA: fixed the height! 

Update #2: That was not fun, OB had to stick a needle in my boob and drain it.  FX that this is finally the end of it!

  • Good luck! I brought a bottle with me to give to Em after her shots, and that seemed to help quite a bit.

    Yea, he won't be hungry at that point but I think I'll bring a little 2oz one just in case he needs it to calm down.  Thanks!

  • Big hug, I'm not going to lie the shots were awful to watch.  They made me hold down his little arms, and it was so sad.  He only cried for a few minutes after, and then slept for the rest of the day.  Once the actual shots were over he didn't really seem to be in any pain.

  • Good luck with both appointments. The shots are hard to watch. He might be really sleepy the next day.

    I'm glad you're going back to the Dr for that clog - you should not be in pain from that after all this time. I hope it's not an abscess and that the Dr can help you get it cleared up.

  • GL! Ella had her 2 mo shots this morning also, and came through it like a champ. Hoping the same for your little man!

  • Yay, Raylan! So glad to hear he's growing and doing so well. The 2 month shots are heartbreaking... I'm not looking forward to DD's 4 month appt. and her next round of shots.

  • Hope you both feel better soon!  Sounds like a crazy busy day for you... :( and not a particularly fun one either.  Tomorrow will be better!
