Shots!!

Yesterday we took Chase to the pediatrician for his 2 month check up.  All is great!  He is "growing like a fiend" according to the doctor.  He is only about 2lbs shy of a full-term 2 month old so he is catching up well.  

I am sad to admit that I chickened out on the shots.  I saw those needles...4 of them to be exact, and ran like a girl!  I left daddy with Chase to go make the appointment for his 4 month shots and it was over by the time I finished with that.  He had 4 sticks in his legs and one oral vaccination.  He is better at pain that I ever will be.  He only cried while they were giving the shots and was over it in seconds.   He is a big, brave boy!  A lot more so than mom!  I know I have to suck it up and get over being so squeamish for his sake, but daddy is strong and for now, he is having to handle the hard stuff.  

We go to the gastro doctor tomorrow for a check up on that.  Hopefully, he won't have to have any more treatments.
