Daddy is taking M for her next shots...

Because today was horrible.  I have never heard that kind of scream from my baby girl. It was 10x worse then when I had to hold her for her heel pricks when she had jaundice.  I told H that once she gets to the point where she can remember the shots he is going to be responible for taking her to the doctor. Maybe one day they can make all vaccines oral so we wouldn't have to deal with this stress. At least now she seems content sleeping in her swing and I am off work the rest of the day so that we can hang out and cuddle.

    Isn't it horrible? I had to hold Gabriella's arms down last week for her 2 month shots. I felt awful. Sad

    I'm making DH go with me for the 2 month shots.  I took V for her 1 month appointment by myself, and she had to get a Hep B vaccine (declined in the hospital) and a heel prick.  It was awful.

    DS's 2 months shots are tomorrow and  I made DH take the morning off so he can go with us. I havent decided if I'll wait in the waiting room or if I'll go back with them, but I know I can't handle alone.

    It is really horrible. :( I wanted to run out of the room and let SO stay with him, but then I remembered someone on here saying that when our kids are in pain are when they need us the most. I couldn't leave him when I thought of it that way.

    Ben had his today and I couldn't watch- DH had to pat him/hold him.  As soon as I saw his little face turn all red when he got the first one though I was in tears. He calmed down quickly... but I was a mess.

    DH is definitely going to have to come to the other appointments with shots for moral support for me. lol

    Tess has her two month shots tomorrow and I have been stressing over it all day today! I can't stand to hear her cry like that, especially when I know it is because she is in pain. :(...

    When my DS had them it was nothing.  He cried for 2 seconds and was fine.

    As a mom of 2 now I can tell you that it does get better. Not lo crying from the shots of course but you dealing with them. I am making my husband go with me tomorrow for our dd's 2 month appt. but that is because I feel all parents should experience it at least once!

    One thing I learned with my first child was to give her tylenol an hour before the appt they are less likely to get a fever and not  be as sore from the shots.

    The shots themselves weren't that bad for Kai.  He screamed, but as soon as I picked him up he calmed down and once I nursed him he was fine.  My poor sister had to hold his legs down for the nurse to give them and she said that was awful.

    What was the worst for me was that night and the next day.  He ran a 101 fever and was so miserable and pitiful.  I felt so bad for him.
