Immunization and Anemia

Wow! It just took me forever to do that last post. I still haven't figured all of this stuff out! This is my 3rd post. Gary did all of the others (it's pretty obvious by the number of words used).

We took Ethan to the doctor this week for an immunization and for the doctor to see if he still has anemia. The doctor wasn't able to find any blood vessels that were visible enough to take his blood. She tried in 3 different places before quitting. The poor little guy wasn't happy at all getting poked, prodded, and sqeezed. Course, the immunization shot was nothing to him after all of that. The doctor said that she will try to take his blood at his 4 month check-up. Hopefully his blood vessels will be more visible then (and he won't have anemia anymore).

We weighed him while we were there. He weighed 6.9 kg (15 pounds) wearing a diaper and onesie.

I like seeing pictures on here more than just words, so here's another pic of Ethan. I hate it when people just have pictures of their kids everywhere and not them too, so I don't plan for this blog to be that way. But, our intention in creating this blog was for our family and friends to see and hear more of the personal stuff and specifically with Ethan since we won't be talking about him through our entire prayer letters.

This picture was taken on May 8th, a week before he turned 3 months old.
