Well, I made Tuck's 1 month post before his 4 week check up & thought you all would like to know that my teeny baby is actually... BIG.
Weird. He's supposed to stay small forever.
I made him promise.
Oh well...
At today's checkup:
Weight: 10 lbs 15 oz (75%)
Length: 23 inches (90%!)
Head: 16 inches (90%!)
Isn't that crazy?!
More to love. And I do love him, he's so squishy.
And so cute.
BUT... :(
I discovered a fever blister on my lip yesterday morning.
I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, & he saw it & prescribed me something.
Then last night we find 3 weird, tiny bumps on Tucker's leg.
Today they look bigger & weird.
His doctor looks at them & notices my fever blister (starting to feel self conscious about the thing now), then decides to lance his spot, culture it, prescribe him antibiotics (oral & topical) & tells me to wash my hands a lot.
Apparently fever blisters are not all that great.
Especially not for babies. And now I feel sad.
I gave my baby a yucky virus that could make him sick.
Ugh.
So...I'm praying that it's nothing & that it all goes away & I'm left with a super healthy baby.
I told the Lord today that sometimes it stinks to be a mom.
I hate it when my kids are sick....terrible feeling.
Ho-hum.
I'll let you know when he's all better.
I'm planning on tomorrow:)...

It does stink to be a mom sometimes. Mainly because your heart is on the outside now. :) He will be fine. You are building his immune system - albeit inadvertently. Hang on sweet little mother. Before you know it that 'big' boy will be on a football field avoiding 200 lb. defenders and you'll be in the stands with your hands over your eyes!!! Much love, Aunt Sha
Ahhh, it's all going to be o-kay. He's on antibiotics! That will take care of it! He is so adorable and I can't believe he's growing SO fast! Hugs!
Awwwwww poor baby and Mrs. Amber. I'm sorry that, that happened. I've never had a fever blister before but I'll remember that when it comes to kissing Kaylen. Feel better soon ok.

Awww, poor guy. That really stinks, but he will be ok and you are a GREAT mom by the way!! He is precious and perfect in every way. And your Christmas card/ birth announcements were so cute!
