The three of us (Elliott, Chuck, and I) went to Elliott's two month check up yesterday. I knew going in that our little, sweet boy would be getting his shots. I have been dreading this appointment from the moment I heard about it. On the one hand, I know the shots will help keep Elliott healthy; on the other hand, I was not looking forward to the pain that goes along with that. I'm pretty sure I felt just as nervous about that appointment as I did the day I went into labor!
I was so proud of Elliott during his appointment! He is a growing boy (Weighed 11 pounds, 8 1/2 ounces and is 23 1/4 inches long). Yes, he did let out a scream that hurt me to my core when he got each shot, and the look of pain and surprise on his face after each shot almost had me in tears myself. But, he quickly calmed back down.
He was great the rest of the day. I would have totally understood if he had screamed like a banshee after that experience and was actually trying to prepare myself for that. But, he proved me wrong. The little noises he made were more like little whimpers from being uncomfortable, and he slept most of the afternoon. I took a few pictures of our little guy and tried to spend most of the afternoon snuggling with him and being there to comfort him. I love my Elliott!
