 Talon has fever
Alas, I knew it couldnt last long but atleast its nothing too serious. Talon had his second month checkup yesterday and received his three shots. Yes, he ended up with a fever yesterday evening and it has carried over into today. Poor thing! He hasnt really eaten much and doctor advised me to give him some pedialyte to keep him from dehydrating. When he drank that, he consumed the 5 ozs I put into the bottle. He has also wanted momma for the most part. I even gave him a bath with me and he enjoyed that more than anything.. the water was so cool to his hot body.
Also, Dr. Hubble said Talon is weighing in at 11 pounds, 4 oz and measuring at 21.5 inches long. She said he is right on target for weight but a little on the short side. Umm. duh! Gary and I are BOTH short. He is 5'4" and I am 5'1". I dont think there is a doubt in my mind that Talon may be a shorty. Thats okay.
Right now the little turd is sleeping. He has been doing so well minus the fever not his fault. I have been taking pictures left and right and its so cool being able to put pictures, actual pictures, not just digital ones, into the baby picture book. I am so excited that he is here. Everyday is somethign new.
Talon has been cooing left and right. I love it when he sneezes and when he coughs.. they are just too cute... especially when he sighs or coos right afterwards. He gives me smiles during the evening hours most of the time. I find he loves the 7 p.m. hour for playtime or just kicking back in the bed with me with us just looking at one another. Its as if we are waiting for the other to do something and wonder what that may be.! I know it sounds crazy.
The other day... this lady in Wal-mart came up and pulled down his shirt because it was up high. "he looks cold," she said as she walked away! UGH! Lady if you only knew how HOT this boy really gets and is.. u would not have done that. Oh no and I coudnt tell her crap before she walked away from me... all I coudl think of was get ur filty hands off my boy! I wanted to slap her but I was just dumbfounded. What gives people the right to tell us how to raise our own children! ARGH!
I cant think much else to say.. Only I hope everyone and their babies are doing well. Keep on kissing and loving on them babies.. we only have them small for so LONG! Gotta run.. Talon is pitching a fit because Im not around! |
My poor 2 month old.. lets just say it.. has got the runs. Since late last night he has had nearly all dirty diapers. This last one took the cake... it was runny and I had to scoop up and run to make sure he didnt ooze out on his daddy's bed. Poor kid. Daddy is on his way to get some Pedialyte. I plan on giving him that for the next 24 hours to be sure he maintains on his electrolytes. Plus, I checked his temp and he is running a slight fever. Poor thing! He is finally sleeping but it took him a while to settle down. His belly is just all tore up. I have to wonder if that isnt an hereditary thing. Gary is the same way at times.
