Shots




Like I said in an earlier post -- taking your baby for shots is hard. This time, Cal had to have 5 vaccinations, which meant getting poked with three needles.

I felt so guilty, that before the nurse came in, when Cal and I were alone in the exam room, I actually talked out loud to him, saying, "Someday, when you see this in your life playback in Heaven, you are going to know that your mommy did NOT want to do this to you."

When they stuck him the first time, he got this really confused look on his face for a second, and then screamed bloody, stinking murder!

At least he's not old enough to be mad at me, right?

I HATE the shots too. I always give Clara some Tylenol beforehand so it starts to make her feel better right away. That makes me feel a little better about it!

I like that you spoke to him alone. He will forgive you! Afterall you named him after a Beatle, I would forever love you for it
