*lol* Sorry. A little dramatic I know. But baby girl had her 2mth shots today. I forgot how hard on momma it is too.
She is not handling it well. Fever and very sore. But hopefully is about to lay down for the night...or at least for a little while.

Awwww that's rough... The only thing that made iy bearable with my two kids was that the shots pretty much knocked them out for thr rest of the day and partly for the day after. Literally, both slept the entire day and night after that, only waking long enough to eat something.

We're going in for the 4m checkup and shots next Wed and I'm dreading that already. From what I remember, those actually gave K fever and made her cranky. Since this baby is the queen of cranky on a perfect day, I wonder what will happen after shots...

Hang in there!

Hugs. It's so hard, you just hate seeing them in pain! It gets even harder as they get older and look at you with that horrible scared look of horror. Maddy's one year shots were the worst. I'm so glad we don't have vaccinations at every single well check.

Oh - poor mama! And poor baby. Hugs.

We split up her vaccinations so far so there weren't as many at one appointment - went back 2 or 3 weeks later for the rest. Various reasons for doing that but I think it also helped it be less traumatic as at ead h visit she only got poked once ( either one injection or two with a nurse on each side injecting at the same time) and then was done. So that part was really quick. Also with my DD boob fixes everything so as soon as it was over I nursed her and she was pretty much A-ok again. At 2 months one set of shots seemed to make her fussier the next day and the other left her sleepier than usual (which was kindof nice) ; at 4 and 6 months we didn't notice much of any after-effects. Her face has gotten more heartbreaking each time though ... not looking forward to 12 months ones for that!

I was just having this discussion with my sister this weekend.  It is so horrible having to take them for shots.  The worst is the no cry, breath holding until the wail seeps forth from their little bodies.  It is the worst.  As others have stated it only gets worse when they get older because then they are hip to what is going on.  

Not fun!!!

She was miserable all weekend. Still fussy but it is due to gas now.
And I totally know what you are saying @Geeps2 . Especially when they continue to sob in their sleep for an hr after they've quit. That breaks me!

Hope she did well after. I hate when they get shots.
