Trenton's Doctor Visit

Yesterday was probably one of the most traumatic days for a Mom. Yes, Trenton has been through a lot, but while I know it was not easy for him, I was not a first hand witness of his surgery, so this was definitely the worst I have experienced since being released from the NICU....

Trenton got FIVE shots yesterday! He took it like such a champ...right before the shots, I was feeding him....>

He has just finished 5 oz here and was drifting off to sleep....so peaceful.

Then, the nurse comes in with all 5 shots and one oral vaccine. We do oral medicine 2 times a day, so we are ready for that...take it like a champ. I have to give the nurse credit, she knocked those shots out really fast...shot 1, he looked fine, no tears. Shot 2, face turns BRIGHT red. Shot 3, we start screaming. shot 4 (another leg) we are in full on tear fit! Shot 5, done...whew! So, I did really well and didn't cry...Trenton cried, but only for about 2 minutes. Here is Trenton after shots...

Trenton has definitely discovered his hands and is into self soothing, which is great, but his hand was not quite doing the trick after the shots. However, once we got home, he didn't cry and just kicked and smiled! How I love this boy! My sister says in this picture he looks a lot like me. I am not sure how I feel about this.

That was Trenton's BIG day of shots...we go again March 30th!
