Isak has had a very big day today. Started with an appointment at the hospital at 9.20. A doctor checked Isak's tounge and thought that the string under his tongue should be cut. I noticed when Isak was born that his tongue looked a bit funny but didn't really think much about it. The doctor's didn't notice it either until I mentioned it before his 8 weeks check up. He got a referral to a specialist and that is where we went today. It was all done very quicky and I held him the whole time. The doctor started by putting something in his mouth to numb the area a bit. After that she showed me how to hold his hands with one hand and his head with the other hand. She then just gently opened his mouth and snipped the string with scissors. Isak started crying and there was a little bit of blood (not much) but he relaxed as soon as I gave him the breast.

Only a few hours later it was time for the next stressful experience for the day. Isak's 3 months vaccination. Before the shots (one in each leg) Isak was measured and weighed and he is now 65cm and 6.5 kg.
When he had the injections he was sitting in my lap and this time I had to hold his leg with one hand and his arms with the other. He was so cute and happy and smiled to the nurse. Poor thing :-(
For the second time today he cried but relaxed when I started breast feeding him.

The doctor at the hospital said that Isak's tongue can be a bit sore today and that he might be a bit unsettled. I don't think he has been too bad. A few times he has started crying all of a sudden for no obvious reason but stopped quite quickly. Not sure if that has to do with the tongue or the injections.

I thought he would be a bit upset going to bed but he wasn't. He smiled and was so cute that I had to take photos of him.

This is Isak when he is about to have his last nap for the day at about 4.30pm.
Both kids are now in bed for the night and I hope that Isak will sleep well. The injections can make babies a bit sick over the next 48 hours so who knows what the night will be like. Jakob never seemed effeced by injections but that doesn't mean Isak is the same.

Han ser ju inte överdrivet missnöjd ut på dessa bilder...ha ha! Hoppas det stannade så oxå. Kram! /Zara
Det är ju bara när han är glad som jag har tid att plocka fram kameran, därav bilder med leenden! Men han verkar ha klarat sig bra och jag har inte märkt av några biverkningar... kanske skriker han lite högre sedan tungan är klippt?
