Today, Eco made it through his 2-month check-up and through his first set of shots.
He was doing a lot better than I was!
He only cried – sharply – during the shots and was easy to calm directly afterwards. Thank God that Patri has more “cold blood”, as she calls it, in these matters. She had to hold down Eco’s thighs, I was glad that I didn’t have to do it.
At least the nurse on duty was very nice and kind and set the shots well.
I couldn’t even watch, with protective hormones in full gear. He was lying there on the table all peacefully, looking at me with complete trust, and I am standing there, next to him, knowing full well that I will let someone hurt him in the next second. It’s just a tiny shot (well, two), but it feels dreadful
This will get more difficult the more conscious Eco will be of what will happen to him. For now, he is sleeping peacefully – I hope he won’t have too many side effects.

Don’t feel too bad, it’s for his good health!
By the way, happy two months old Eco! I guess you are right now enchanting your mums with those little smiles of yours, aren’t you?

Yo creo que nos duele más a nosotras que a ellos, pero es imposible evitarlo (ahora que le han vacunado por tercera vez parece que lo llevo mejor …)
