Baby's 5th Month Vaccination

Baby had his 2nd Pneumococcal jab yesterday. Supposed to be last week but the doctor postponed it last minute. This jab was done in a jiffy. Although Baby did cry, his cry was a delayed one and lasted only a very short while.

He developed a fever of 38.4ºC today and I had to take leave today to look after him. He was very cranky and refused to be put down. Luckily his fever went down to 37.4ºC by noon, just in time for DC and me to catch our movie and this made it easier for my ILs to take care while we were away. Definitely made me less guilty about going out!

Fever completely went down by the time we were back. Phew!

And we thought Baby is already 6kg but were surprised to find that he was just a mere 5.2kg! *Sad* Must fatten him up for next month's assessment!

All in all, this vaccination caused me a total of 3 days leave! The leaves are precious but nothing's more precious than my little prince! :P


Baby getting sleepy waiting for his turn to see doc. I love the M&M socks he wore that day! :)
