Shots

For Madeline's 2 month birthday, we took her to the doctor. (I know, what wonderful parents we are. All the kids will be jealous of our party planning skills.) She had to get 5 vaccines! She got 2 in each leg and then one orally. I don't know why they can't all be oral. Because, she really liked that one. But, the shots in her legs were a different story. She screamed and cried and looked so pitiful each time she stuck out her lower lip. We finally calmed her down a little bit and she slept on the way home. She slept for most of the evening. But, when she woke up, she was not very happy. She was very sore and fussy. I think she started feeling better around 10pm because she played with Andrew's parents a little bit. She has been one sleepy girl ever since. She went to bed around midnight and slept until 7. She ate and then we slept in a little longer until 8. She woke up for a brief period and has been sleeping for the past 2 hours. But, she seems to be back to her normal happy self this morning when she is awake. So, I guess we survived our first vaccination experience. It wasn't very fun. But, I guess we better get used to it. She gets shots every time we go to the doctor now until she is 18 months old :(
