I Told Them So.

On Thursday evening, I decided to take Vincent for a walk around the neighborhood. When we was getting ready to go, he started screaming. Jake's mom asked me how often he screams like that and I told her it's about 80% of the time. We took our walk and when we came back Jake's mom and dad started lecturing us about how something is wrong with him. I kept saying I didn't think there was. He's my son and I'm always with him, I know him best. They kept going on to Jake as I went to another room to feed Vincent. I could hear them talking about how irresponsible we are being for not taking him to the hospital. I had an emotional break down because it was making me feel like a bad mother. After Vincent  finished eating, I tried to sit in living room with them but just couldn't. I told them I was going up to our room to put Vincent in the swing. I put Vincent in the swing and just broke down. When Jake came up, I buried my face in my knees so he wouldn't see me cry but he already knew. He told me that we were taking Vincent to hospital the next day so his parents can be sure that there was nothing wrong.

The next day, I called the pediatrician and explained that Vincent is screaming nonstop all the time. They had me bring him in so they could check him out. As I had told them nothing is wrong with him. They said he might be colic. However, he has a tooth trying to come through. When we told Jake's parents that the doctor said nothing is wrong with him they made up excuses like 'they didn't do every test, so they don't know if anything is wrong'. My goodness. I'm not a bad mom and I know nothing is wrong with my baby!
