Vaccines :-(

Well yesterday I had to take Jael for her first round of vaccines. We waited this long because her pediatrition said that if she is not in daycare it is sometimes better to wait so their system can handle the vaccines better. She got 2 shots in each leg. It was extremely traumatic for me. Having to hold her down while they hurt her was something I was not emotionally prepared for. I cried several times yesterday, long after she had stopped and was her smiley self again. She was pretty exhausted all day and took several long naps. Her little thighs just swelled up. Luckily she did not get a fever or any sort of rash. I still tear up today when I think about how hard she cried. I know that as a parent I'll have to do things for my children that are not easy but I decided that for the next round, daddy is going to have to take her.
