Wish Us Luck

Today is the day.....shots at the doctor.  We have their 8 week old appointment which includes shots.  I am so nervous about the shots both during and after the shots.  I hate to see them cry/upset but I know we are protecting them (I hope) and afterwards for all the horrible things you hear about what shots do to some children.  Thankfully Dh is going with us bc I know I am going to need some emotional support during/after the appointment. 

Please tell me that your shots went well, pretty please.

awww, the shots were quick (we got 2 in each leg at the 2 month apt), crying for a min, but after i comforted her (and nursed her) she was perfectly OK. then she slept the rest of the day.

the teatanous shot was the only thing that irritated her, it got a little hot and she ran a really low grade fever (didn't break 101) but i gave her tylenol and put a cool (not cold) wash cloth on her leg and she was 100% back to normal in 24 hours. 

good luck! the crying when giving the shots is the worst, so if your DH is stronger than you (emotionally) you can always step out of the room for a min and come back in when they are done.

Logan had his yesterday, they were not as bad as I expected!  They were very quick, he cried, but as soon as we put him in the carseat to go, he was asleep.  He slept a lot yesterday, and slept well last night.  We just kept up with the instructions for tylenol through this morning.  No fever so far!  It will be ok, it will be over soon!

Good luck, it's definitely harder on you than them... Gabe did great, he cried but it was over quickly and he came home and took a good solid nap.  No fever at all.  Kept on the Tylenol.  ((Hugs))

Shots went well.  Linc only fussed for a moment at the 2mo ones.  THe 4mo ones he was a bit fussier.  But, just remember they won't remember any of this!
