Today is Zac's 9 month Well-Baby visit. He weighs 21 lbs and 11 ounces, his height is 31.5 inches nd his head measures 18 inches. His pediatrician told us that his weight is in the 75th percentile and his height is in the 99th percentile. She also said that he is doing good and he is a tall baby. I told her that there is really a big possibility that he will be a tall man because his dad stands 6'2" and his grandpa is 6'5". The pediatrician also asked me things that he can do now and she was glad about his progress.
She asked me on when will his next visit to the urologist be and I told her that it'll be on November. They gave him 3 shots today and yes, he cried. He had Hepatitis B, Polio, Pneumococcal, DTP and Hib shots.
Zac is really fussy today and we understand why, it is because of the shots.

2 Vaccination Shots
Zac had his 2nd shots last two days ago. He had Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, HiB and Polio shots. He weighs 18.11 pounds, 27 inches tall and has head circumference of 17 at the age of 5 months and half.
I don't like the nurse who gave him shots because it bled right after she injected those shots. Shots are suppose to be injected in the muscle and not in the vein.
He has an appointment for another Renal Ultrasound two weeks from now. The hospital called me yesterday and said that his schedule is today. I asked her to reschedule his appointment because his Urologist wants it to be done when he turns 6 months old and right now he is only 5 months and two weeks old. I asked her to reschedule it because I am afraid that his urologist would ask to redo the ultrasound because he isn't 6 months old yet. So just to make sure, I scheduled him on the 17th of this month which he would turn exactly 6 months old.
I really wish that everything is ok now in his kidneys.

Vaccination Shots
I think the most hardest thing for a parent is to see her kid crying. Yeah, Zac cried today because of the multiple vaccines he had.
He was in the good mood this morning when I woke him up. He was in the mood of playing and talking til he got his shots. Me and my hubby held his arms and legs so that the nurse can give him his shots. I don't like seeing him crying in pain but we don't have any choice because those shots that was administered to him are beneficial.
He had his second shot of Hepa B (he got the first one a day after he was born) and first shots of Polio, Pneumococcal and DTP (Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertusis) and Hib.
Hepatitis B is a virus which you can get from contact with blood or body fluid of an infected person. This virus can lead to liver damage or even death.
Polio is a virus that can lead to paralysis of arm or leg.
Pneumococcal is a bacteria that can lead to meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord coverings), blood infections, ear infections, pneumonia, deafness, brain damage and death.
Diptheria is a bacteria that lead to breathing problems, heart failure and death.
Tetanus (lockjaw) is a bacteria that can lead to stiffness of the jaw.
Pertusis (whooping cough) is a bacteria that can lead to pneumonia, seizures (jerking and staring spells), brain damage and death.
Hib (Haemophilus influenza type b) is a bacteria that can lead meningitis, pneumonia; infections of the blood, joints, bones and covering of the heart; brain damage; deafness and death.
He snoozed after few minutes he had those shots actually he is still snoozing til now. I just hope that he won't have fever because of those shots. They say that it is normal for babies to have fever after having shots. They advised us to give him Tylenol for babies in case fever occur.
I am glad that he had them now even though it was a heartbreaking thing seeing him crying.

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!
