He got shot?

My little baby had his 2 month immunization shots last night. I think it was a total of three (maybe four) shots. His nurse said that when the babies get the actual shot, they are a little upset right away but calm down fairly quickly (thanks to their very short term memory). However, they are sore and upset for up to two days! I didn't necessarily want to be there for the shots, but wouldn't have minded being there to cuddle afterward. Oh, well.

I was able to attempt nursing once yesterday. He latched on very well, but I had pumped about an hour and a half before, so I don't think there was much for him to get. Maybe today will be another story. He is now getting 35 mL through his tube at each feeding (he was getting 32 before). As anybody who has seen our freezer (even after two trips of milk to DeAnn's freezer) knows how happy we are when he is eating more!

Oh, and I was charting my pumping and output last week. Well, in the first full 24 hour period, I pumped 43.5 oz. You are supposed to pump between 25 and 35 oz...so I am getting far more than is necessary. The lactation consultant said I can reduce to 6 pumpings in a 24 hour period (so I'm trying to do 3.5 hours between during the day and 5 hours between at night). So far so good. You'd be shocked at how much longer it seems to have 3.5 hours instead of just 3 hours between pumpings. Weird.

Oh, and Kristine and I painted Finn's room yesterday! I took pictures, but then left my camera at the hospital (oops!). It is a sky blue on top and a dusty darker blue on the bottom. I LOVE how it turned out and will post pictures as soon as I have my camera. Jim still needs to put up the border, but I was told that would happen today (I might need to enlist John's help since he helped with the living room stripes!). When I got up this morning, I just smiled when I walked out of our room. It is sunny and so cheerful and such a BOYS room! I'm glad we/I decided to change it from yellow to blue. Now I'm just waiting for the crib and dresser to arrive...
