Cry Baby Cry!!

Poor Chris had to get his 4 month shots on July 21st. Since we had Chris on a weekend, we were not able to get the birth certificate signed until the next week. This meant having to load everyone up and go back up to the hospital to sign a piece of paper. Well with all of the commotion of a new baby, work, and me being sick from my not yet discovered Staph infection, we didn't get back to the hospital to sign the paperwork for a few weeks after Chris's birth. This put us behind on getting his Social Security card. It took them forever to get it to us!! Well long story shot, Dana's insurance denied us coverage on Chris because we did not submit the request within 30 days of his birth. So as of now we have no insurance on Chris until open enrollment which is September. For the first round of shots I took Chris to his Pediatrician because I was worried about him getting the Staph infection from me. Well $150.00 dollars later we had shots and a clean bill of health. This time around I didn't have this kind of money so I took him to the children's clinic at Covenant. It was on a walk in basis and I was able to get all of his 4 month shots for $5.00. Poor baby just cried for a few seconds and then flashed that angelic smile he always has. He did fine for the first 24 hours but then ran a fever of 102.0 for about 14 hours. Boo! Nothing a little Tylenol and rest couldn't handle. We didn't have a well check so we didn't get a height or weight but I think he weighs about 15 pounds now! My big boy!!
