2nd Monthly Visit

I know that Zac is already a bit delayed on his shots. We had problems with his insurance so it took us more weeks before we were able to get pediatrician appointment.

Today has come and it is his 2nd monthly check up. He is 3 months and 3 weeks old now and weighs 15.15 lbs with the height of 26 inches and head circumference of 16 inches. His pediatrician said that he had grown fast. He is now on his 80th percentile. She was actually surprised when I told her that he drinks 50 ounces of milk a day but it went down to 40 ounces because he doesn't feel good this past few days. His temperature was 99.7 when she checked it. She canceled all the shots that he is suppose to have today because of his slight fever. She told us that if his body temperature is still the same on Monday then we need to see her again but if not , we can just go anytime there next week for his shots.

He did nothing but to sleep from 9A til now (7P). He only drank 7 ounces of milk. He usually wakes up and chugs milk but he is so different today. The pediatrician said that he doesn't have ear infection which we thought he has because he keeps on pulling and scratching his left ear. They also checked if he has RSV but good thing that the result is negative.

I am really praying and hoping that his fever will be gone soon, soon, soon!

He is sick :(

He was fine and full of joy around 1:00AM. In fact he was playing with his daddy and he laughed and laughed. Few hours after he fell asleep, he woke me up with a high pitched scream. I woke up immediately and checked him. I gave him milk but he was still crying. I changed his dirty diaper and still crying. I made him sit up and he still cried. Those are the normal reasons why he cries so I really felt that something is really wrong with him. He only stopped crying after I stood up and held him.

He woke up almost every hour just to cry and to ask for milk. I know that he wasn't bloated because I made him burp. At 9AM, his temperature was 98.6 F which is higher than his normal temperature which is 97.2 - 97.6 F. I told him to my husband and continued monitoring Zac. At 2PM, it went up to 99.9 F so I got scared and went to hubby again. I thought we need to rush him to the doctor but hubby said the doctor would not do anything to him unless his temp is higher than 100 F. Hubby gave him Tylenol for babies. He mixed it with the milk that he was drinking. It seems like the taste didn't bother him because he drank it all. At 5PM, I checked his temp and it went down to 98.2 F. I felt relieved. He seems better now than awhile ago. He gave me few smiles and he don't cry much now.

Right now, he is sleeping and he seems alright. I hope he feels better soon. BTW, below is the video of Zac playing daddy. This was taken few hours before he got sick.
