The Weigh In...




Cooper was at the doctor this morning for his check up and his 6 months needles. He is 28 inches long which is the 95th percentile and weighs 17lbs 10oz which is the 50th percentile....a bean pole just like his dad.

He also had 2 needles in his legs. The first one went in and he looked at me with this confused and startled look and then the second went in and he screamed. I usually make sure Jason is there helping the nurse with the needles as I don't want him to be looking at me when he feels pain, but Jason has been in Toronto all week coaching the National Team so I sucked it up and went this time.

After, I sat in the waiting room and nursed him to help him get more comfortable. The monkey looked up at me with his big beautiful blue eyes and bit me harder than he has ever bit before. It was as if he was saying "TAKE THIS LADY." I wiped the tears from my eyes and came to terms with the fact that there was blood coming from an area one should ever see blood come from and we were on our way. Guess I wont be nursing him from the right side anytime soon.
