Exhausted!

Today was Brody's six week checkup. While I thought I had mentally prepared myself for the day, I had no idea how exhausted we both would be. It probably didn't help having a near sleepless night. But we found out he weighs 8.6 pounds (5%) and is 22 inches long (35%). Yay! When we arrived, Brody was extremely fussy so the nurse said we could feed him. If we only knew...
After the doctor examined him and checked him over, it was time for the dreaded shots. We opted for the rotovirus vac. and he was supposed to take it orally. As soon as he took the last drop, his bottle came right back up. Now we aren't talking a small dribble or burp. The nurse was covered along with the table in the horrible smelling formula. I was so embarassed but then my next thought went to the vaccination. Did he actually get any in? Turns out, probably not. After cleaning the floor, the table, and the nurse we were out the door and ready to go home. We both took a well deserved nap!
