Calebs 4 month Check up



Today I took Caleb to the Dr for some shots. I have been worried about having a boy and giving him so many shots. Well I had a chance to talk to my Dr and they are going to spread the shots out. Today instead of 5 shots he got one which was combined. I am just so thankful for Dr Blume. He is a blessing to our family. Caleb did really well. He cried just for a second.

The past few weeks I have been very worried about Caleb. He has had a skin rash on different parts of his body. He did have cradle cap and that has decreased but the rash has gotten worse. I thought he might have eczema but today the looked under the microscope and found that it is still a fungus, what the heck? How does a baby get fungus? I clean him every other day, I change his sheets and clothes. Anyways, they told me to keep using the prescription they gave me for his cradle cap. What they don't know is I didn't use the prescription for the cradle cap. I used olive oil for that. Now I wish I would of listened to the Dr and continued the prescription. So now I have to put the ointment on for 3 weeks. I really hope it goes away, poor baby.
The good news is Caleb weighs 16lbs 3.25oz and is 26 inches long. He continues to be in the 90 percentile range for height and weight. He is such a great baby. I can not imagine my life without him and Allison. I thank Jesus every day for them. I am so happy he continues to grow and be healthy.
