Big Boy Ryan

Ryan had his first doctor's appointment here in India- his 2-month check up.

It's a different experience over here...the hospital we go to is a private hospital, and it's considered to be top-rate. And I was pretty impressed with the pre-natal care I received while here in the spring. BUT- there are some definite differences. For example, they do not put fresh paper down on the tables for each new person- they use the same cloth sheet over and over again- GROSS. So needless to say, I put my own blanket down on the table whenever we go.

Back to the point: Ryan is HUGE. He weighed in at 10 lbs, 8 oz today! He has gained almost 5 lbs since leaving the NICU- that's incredible! I must have MAGIC MILK! Haha!

The poor boy received his first round of shots today too- I was a little nervous about the cleanliness of that whole deal, but I watched the doctor unwrap new syringes, so I felt better. He actually did pretty well, and only cried for a few minutes. He is sleeping it off now, thanks to some infant tylenol.

So all in all, Ryan is THE MAN. He is growing so fast and is doing much better since his reflux meds have been increased (the doctor increased him even more), and we are all so so happy that he is a healthy (and now happy) little boy.
