Tomorrow Zach will be going to get his 6 month shots. Now, I always hear people saying how they feel so bad for their kids getting shots and how their kid was bawling at the doctor's while they were being poked with needles. This is where I'm not sure if I should feel bad or what haha.
I honestly don't feel all that bad that he has to get shots. To me, I know it is something that we all have to go through in order to remain healthy and not get these crazy serious diseases and infections. I mean, I comforted him and all when he received his shots before, and I did my best (with a lot of help) to try to sooth his crying while we were in the hospital for his stomach surgery (we had to refrain from feeding him for somewhere around 10 hours, maybe more), but I wasn't worried sick or anything like that. I was confident that everything was going to be fine. I'm not nervous or all that concerned with the fact that he has to get shots.
I don't know. I guess I just know when he really needs someone to hold on to him and tell him that everything will be okay, but I also know when he needs someone to hold him and tell him to be strong because it's going to help him in the long run.
This is probably another one of those things where I worry about what other people are going to think of me as a parent. Parents judge each other all the time, sometimes for good reason, sometimes not. I just have met some of the "super" parents out there, and I really don't like being around people like that because they make me feel inadequate as a parent because I don't "do it all" like they do. Frankly, I have a hard time seeing how they do it and still have time to do things for themselves every once in a while. But I digress.
No worries, Bud. We'll make it, no problem.
