6 week check-up for LO

Terra and I both had our 6 wk check-up yesterday, and everything went well until it came time for shots. She screamed a scream I have never heard before, and I started crying even harder than her - I felt like the worst mommy ever. I was able to calm her pretty quickly and then she nursed, but I am still traumatized - I am already having anxiety about the next round. And prior to that she was laying there giggling and smiling and cooing. Then to make things worse, the shots made her feel bad all night, so I just had to cry more because I still felt bad - I know she is not going to remember this, and I know that she is already feeling better this morning, but dang it was hard!

My dad just laughed at me, saying there are going to be much worse things than this!

    I keep my cool and appear to have the "such is life" attitude when my kids are hurt or in pain. I think I get that from my dad and though as I got older and sometimes wanted sympathy from him I am ALWAYS much much calmer and feel better when I'm sad or hurt and he's around.

    Anyway, that's me on the outside- but on the inside I completely understand what you're saying. DD was a quiet baby. There have been short periods of time when she cried and I didn't hear her because she wasn't in my arms or right next to me. I thought for sure she was going to be my quiet little girl. The moment she got one shot at her one month check up changed all of that. She screamed a million times louder than she ever has. Then she cried that loud in the car while we were driving home and a third time when she was upset that night. I guess she found her voice. It made me extremely sad for her!

    Olivia didn't get her shots until her 2 month check up.  She cried/screamed but not for very long.  I think she is on tuff cookie because she doesn't cry out very often at any thing.  She will cry but its short lived.
