its 10.30 in the evening, i just finished feeding junior and the wife is putting away junior's washing.... yup... thats been our routine for the past one month.. the night feeds, dirty diapers, cranky baby and the odd "shooting pee at daddy when he is changing me" stunt... hours of fun...
we went back to the doc for juniors injection last friday... its been a month since we got junior... yup, junior is one month old... this is a new doc, nice fella... shifty eyes though.... we got there at 10.50 for a 11 am appointment... the clinic was empty.. and according to the list on the wall, there seems to be a whole lot more boys than girls and tom dick and harry isnt as common a name as what everybody thinks... i am glad juniors name is not on that list... it wasnt long before juniors name was called...
doc: hello... how are you?
THE WIFE: he seems to be having a running nose
doc: yah, about the running nose.. theres nothing we can do about it.. hes still small, so hes nose is still small, he will outgrown the running nose when his nose gets bigger...
me: you mean we can actually wait out the running nose and he get better by himself?
doc: yah, its not a good idea to give him any medication at such a young age.. maybe if you like, i can suggest a spray solution... it will soften the mucus and he wont have any dried up mucus in his nose...
THE WIFE: okay...
the doc proceeded with the check up and gave junior his jap... junior was screaming at the top of his lungs... hard to believe someone so small can be so loud... the whole check up, injection and "ocean water" spray set us back by about $75... we got our next appointment in two months time, hopfully by then, juniors nose wont be running anymore... hmm...
