~The Redwine's~: **Cole's two month shots**

June 2, 2010 at 3 pm Cole was scheduled to get his two month old shots. I was not excited about this because Greg had found out he was not gonna be able to get off work to come and help me. So I had to put my big girl pants on and do it myself! HA HA. So here goes...

I got off work at 2 and went and got Cole from the sitters. We got to the doctor office and it had just stopped raining, thank goodness because I was worried he'd get sicker if he got wet. We got inside and I signed him in. They called his name and I went to the window. The receptionist asked me what he was there for???...I replied: his 8 week shots! She asked me if I had his appointment card because he was NOT in the system to be seen today! So I was very frustrated and went and dug in my purse. I am so glad I had not cleaned it out or put his card in with all his stuff I am going to do his scrapbook with! I took it to the window and she said OK we will be with you soon! Well I took a deep breath and called Greg. He was pretty mad! I was beyond mad but was gonna wait and see what happened!

So about 30 minutes later Cole was called back and the nurse we always get was there. I love her, she is sooo sweet! So that made me feel better about the appointment situation. She weighed him and measured him. He was doing so well. He weighs 12 pounds and 11.5 ounces, he is 24 inches long, and his head is 38.5 cm around. He is right on track with his milestones! That was GREAT news. He is in the top 10 (out of 100) with his height and the top 25 (out of 100) with his weight. I was so excited. So then she said that his doctor would be in soon. So we waited and Cole was so happy.

Dr Braden came in and he checked Cole's lungs and his head and his eyes and all that and said he looked good. He answered some of the questions I had and then he held Cole. It was so cute. Cole sat with his head up looking at me like :look at me mommy! LOL. Dr Braden kissed on him and told him he was gonna have to join the world of shots today and he smiled at him. He said the nurse would be in soon to give him his shots.

My adrenaline started pumping because I just new that Cole was gonna scream. I could just remember the scream he let out when we went to the ER and he got that rocephine shot! I was so worried. So the nurse came in and she was so sweet. I did not have to hold Cole and I was so glad to. She gave him the stuff that he has to drink first and he sucked that stuff down. He did not even get it on him and she was laughing. She said most of the time its everywhere. So he must have liked it lol. b She laid him on the table and she laid over his mid section. He was half way asleep by this time so the first shot did not really phase him. The second and third ones were bad. He cried and sucked on his pacy so hard. He had one tear that rolled down his cheek. It was so sad but I knew it was for the good. I got some pictures for his baby book. I know it seems horrible that I was taking pics while he was getting stuck but its all part of life. He will have many more to come.

He did so good. He never ran fever he was just a little fussy for a few days but other than that he seemed fine. I was so glad too. We go back August 16th for his 4 month old shots. Gosh time is flying by. Hes getting so big!

Here are some of the pics I took during his visit:
