No one told me that my child's first shot would be as traumatic for me as it was for them. The difference is I'll remember it tomorrow and he won't!! My Little Lovebug got his Hepatitis B shot at the doctors, which went into his upper right thigh. It was awful! He was so calm and content as the doctor took his height (22 1/4 inches), weight (a whopping 9.2 pounds - 2 pounds more than his birth weight!) and temperature, but the moment that needle struck his leg he let go of the more piercing scream I'd ever heard! It was absolutely heartbreaking!!! Luckily this particular shot didn't lead to him having any reactions. My little trooper!
Besides the traumatic doctors visit, I also visited my school today to make sure my paperwork was in order. I am thrilled to say that I will not be returning to work until the beginning of October. That gives me a whole extra month to snuggle and bond with my Little Lovebug!
