This is a post I made in the old blog on Tuesday, 13 February 2007 at 01:30 AM.

Joel went for his first follow-up vaccination last Saturday. At 2-months old, it does sound a little late for vaccination, but we decided to follow our PD’s recommendation that instead of having his Hep-B shot at 1 month old and T-Antigen + Hib at 2 months old, Joel will get all his shot at one time, thus saving on the doc’s fees. It’s great, of course, for those of us who know the high cost of caring for our babies during their first years.

It’s been two weeks since Joel started attending daycare at Sunshine Nursery Penampang, Eric’s alma mater. And just as I expected, he got a cold soon after. With so many kids around the nursery, it’s almost unavoidable. Nevertheless, through past experiences with then-little Eric, I knew just what to do. My husband was pretty concerned, though, so just to be safe, we mentioned about Joel’s cold to our PD, and he prescribed us a couple of medicine. I’ve learned throughout the years that Dony has very good instinct when it comes to our kids’ health, so I never took for granted whenever he thinks we should bring them to the doctor. Anyways, Joel checks out OK and his growth chart shows that he’s growing well, even better if I compared him to Eric when Eric was just 2 months old.
