Vaccination Friday

Jake gets his hair trimmed by the husband

He's graduated from being cradled to sitting in his own barber seat!

Kate knocked out last night at 8pm. She asked for milk and wanted to sleep and sleep she did all the way until this morning at 6am (she was awakened slightly on one occasion as she had to pee, but other than that it was a good sleep). Here, she enjoys her hearty breakfast.

Home-cooked big breakfast. Hash brown, sausage, bacon, egg, baked beans. Not pictured - preferred beverage (milo/ milk/ tea/ coffee) and bread.

I spent the afternoon bringing Jake for his vaccination. After a 1.5month delay, he finally gets to be shot. Two - one each on his thigh and because the polyclinic deems him too old to take a rota-virus, I had to rush to another clinic to get that settled. Then back to the polyclinic again because I had to change his appointment. Sounds easy but I was going up and down and up again. But at least I managed to settle everything - hooray!

Just for the record, at a week shy of 5months, Jake is 7.4kg and 64cm. He's about in the 75th percentile generally. So far, he's not running a temperature (tonight is going to be a longer-than-long night) but he is cranky and I think he's uncomfortable from the jabs. His right thigh is mildly bruised from the needle.

Today's not exactly fun, but it's still a day fulfilled with Mommy-duties. Am relieved too that we finally started Jake on his jabs, finally all-clear after the flu-ridden months!
