Today I (Julie) took Ethan in to the pediatrician for his 2 month well baby checkup and first round of immunizations. We both handled it pretty well! I spoke to my grandma on Sunday and she told me she always felt guilty about having to take my mom and her brothers for their shots and now I understand why and can agree! I personally hate needles and know that they hurt so it was really difficult to subject Ethan to the pain, even though it's necessary in order to keep him healthy. And he definitely needs to be healthy with his condition, especially with cold/flu season upon us (if it will ever cool down!).
In addition to the shots, we also did his weekly weight check. He has gained another 8 ounces, putting this week's weight at 11lb. 13.5 oz. (5.37 kg) and 24 inches long! Tomorrow we go to the cardiologist, so you can pray that goes well too.
Thank you everyone for your continued prayers for us! We enjoy reading your comments (click on the comments link at the end of each posted entry to leave us a comment and also read other peoples' comments to us) and emails (see link on our main page: http://www.ethanmiles.com/) and even seeing many of you face to face on Sunday at church.
Also, tonight Ethan will get be watched by his Grammy (Dan's mom) while Dan and I join Ethan's Aunt Jessica and Uncle Brandon for a fun night out at the N.C. State Fair! For those of you reading this who are not from N.C. - the big claim to fame this year is that it has more rides than Disney World! None of us are big ride fans (especially not at $2-$6/ride but it will still be fun to see!) This is Brandon's first visit to the N.C. State Fair so we'll get to show him the ropes, enjoy some funnel cake, and hopefully catch the pot-bellied pig races!
