2 month check-up

Our little guy had a tough day. At his 2-month pediatrician appointment, things were looking bright. He weighed in at a very healthy 11 lbs, 4 oz. He was chipper, smiling and happy. And then came the vaccinations. 4 shots and 1 oral vaccine. Ouch.

The nurse was swift, but needless to say, Jack fired up pretty quickly. Red-faced and screaming, Jack was mad as hell and he wasn't going to take it anymore! Dad swooped him up to comfort him, only to turn around and see that mom was crying, too. Jack stopped crying before his mother did!

Our kids turned purple, and I too cried. I was so scared for them knowing that they were getting shots. And the babies didn't even know it was coming! At our last appointment they had to have a blood test. As soon as the phlebotomost walked in the room you could start to see that the babies knew that something "bad" was about to happen. Poor little peanuts.
