Immunizations - round 2

Swe-cha got his second set of immunizations today, 2 needles in one thigh, one in the other and one oral dose. Sigh.

Thankfully:
(1) he was happy at the pedia's office again, kinikilig - at the start, anyway.
(2) it took shorter to calm him down after the shots compared to last time

Hoping that:
(1) he'll sleep soundly or will do better today than the last time because he cried and I had to hold him and soothe him the whole day before.
(2) there'll be no adverse reaction (no fever)
(3) he'll be adequately protected

Swe-cha is in the 75th percentile length-wise and at the 25th percentile weight-wise. I'm kind of glad to get the results because I do worry about his height (seeing that both his Dad and I are on the short side). As for his weight, look at 'em thighs, he's not exactly namamayat either :D

Sis warned me that Pertussis (whooping cough) is on the rise right now, be careful! I checked w/ pedia and doc says that babies aren't considered protected from pertussis until they have had 3 doses of the vaccine. We've only had 2 so far so we'll just have to be super extra careful (we always are, anyway).
