Emma's First Shots!! :(
Emma went to get her first set of shots today. I think she knew where she was headed. As soon as I started to get her dressed, she started to cry and she didn't stop until after we left the health department. They gave her three shots in her hips and some oral drops too. She was crying so she choked on the drops. And that was before she even got the shots. It was so hard to let them give her the shots. I want her to be healthy but it seems so mean to stick inch-long needles in her legs. Poor little girl.
I had to drive around town for a little while before she calmed down and went to sleep. Then we went to the grocery store to get a few things. She woke up on the way home and would cry out every few minutes. I was hurrying to get everything inside so that I could feed her and I ended up dropping a gallon of milk on our CARPET in the front room! So she was fussing in her carseat while I was cleaning up half a gallon of spilled milk and Trevor was sleeping on the couch. He woke up when I spilled the milk but rolled over and went back to sleep. So obviously I didn't need to worry too much about waking him. I finally got Emma fed and gave her some tylenol. She did okay until about four o'clock. Her little leg was hot, red, and swollen. Poor little kid! Every time she moved it she would cry as hard as she could. I'd just get her calmed down after one crying spell and she'd move her leg and we'd start all over again. I put a cold washcloth on it and that worked wonders. Within half an hour the swelling had gone down and the redness disappeared. She was much happier after that too. I gave her some more tylenol and now she's sleeping away. The tylenol makes her drowsy. She has slept so much today, I don't know if she'll sleep tonight but I don't have the heart to try to keep her awake. She's had such a rough day. And tomorrow she has to go to the doctor for her two month checkup. Yea. Poor kid. It's so hard to grow up. I told Trevor, if I could choose between being a kid again and being where I'm at now, I'd stay where I'm at now. Being a kid was fine but I'm glad I'm past that stage!
In other news......Trevor got me an early birthday present. It was very generous of him, seeing as how he really, REALLY wanted it for himself! He gave me an MP3 player. I LOVE it! It's my first MP3 player and it's so handy. He's going to have to get one for himself! And then he'll have to get one for Emma too!!
