We saw Dr. Chan today and I was so relieved to have Jose with us for the big vaccines day. Charlie was scheduled to have 5 vaccines today but we decided against the ROTA vaccine which is for a certain stomach flu most common in 3rd world countries. The remaining vaccines we got down to two shots with one shot as a triple combo (Thanks for telling me about this Pill). Dr. Chan and our nurse Alicia made me feel a lot better about the whole situation. Nurse Alicia has two babies of her own which makes me feel like she'll be gentle with our little man. She gave the shots quickly and yes, he did have that "I'm in pain" scream but he quieted quickly in Jose's arms. No, we didn't cry this time, I think having two parents in the room is definitely easier as you leverage off each other's strength and you don't feel like you're the only one making decisions that will affect your child's future.
Charlie is sleeping pretty peacefully right now. I like to schedule appointments in his morning nap window so that he will hopefully nap after his exam. (Plus it's usually easier for Jose in the morning) I'm going to sign off to try to eat some fabulous non-dairy creation before he wakes up.
