Today was a hard day to be "Mommy". I think today I would gladly have traded and been, Daddy, Grandma, anyonelse.
Today was the two month check-up at the doctor for Emily and it was the day for her to recieve her imunizations, shots. I've never had much trouble getting shots or giving blood myself, other than a bit of lightheadedness here and there. Today those needles looked massive after the doctor's appointment my husband assured me that they were normal size, but I'm still not wholly convinced. I held her throughout the whole process and it was by far the hardest thing I've had to do with her, she was so miserable. I know how important the vaccines are and I'm very glad that they are available but I surely do wish they didn't have to be administed as shots.
Since we got home and she woke up I've been monitoring her fever (which they say is normal) and holding and cuddling her as she is not feeling well at all, and Mommy is all that she wants. Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon.

I know how hard it is for Mommy, you just can't stand to see them hurt, even if it is only for a short time.
Yep, fever and fussiness is perfectly normal after shots. Maybe even a little stomach upset. In a couple of days she will be just as happy as usual.

I remember that feeling well and going home and just rocking Regina and 8 years later Sarah, the rest of the day and most of the night. I had a big green platform rocker and put pillows on both sides of me and one in my lap, when they would go to sleep I would cock the rocker back against the wall like a recliner and sleep too. It was a hard thing to go through. I am keeping you and Emily in my prayers, all will be well.

I've been there, and I didn't like it at all. Fortunately it's quickly over and done with. I hope your little mite is feeling ok this morning.

I felt the exact same way when I took my babies for shots Lily. Emily will be back to herself in a few days.

I'm right there with you Lily. My little one is currently 4, but shots are still one of the hardest things to deal with. I also have a 21 year old and I know that it never gets any easier, the shots I mean.

You just don't like to see your kids in any kind of pain even if you know it's temporary.

Hang in there Mom, it will be better today. You and Emily are in my thoughts.

Emily is feeling much better today, no more fever either. She's still a bit sore on her thighs but even that has lessened quite a bit. I'm glad it's over.
