Shots, yuck!

Mackenzie got her 2 month shots yesterday. Poor baby got 4, two in each leg. Her poor little face turned so red and she screamed while they were giving her the shots. Once they were done, she was ok, but she needed to sleep. She also got an oral vaccination for Rotavirus (some form of major stomach flu that hospitalizes children - it's a new one).

She was fine when we got home and ate normally, then we both took a nap together. When she woke up from that one, she cried and cried and cried and didn't want to eat and just wanted to be held. She had a little temperature, but I've been giving her Tylenol every 4 hours to help her feel better. I'll tell you, IT WORKS!

This morning she woke up crying just about the time she was to get her Tylenol and then once it kicked in, she was ok. Poor baby.

Of course, I had a MAJOR mommy guilt moment when I picked her up from Mom's Morning Out and she gave me this big old smile. I knew deep down inside that she had to get shots later in the day, and I broke down into tears! It was such a horrible feeling. Just think, we get to do it again in January!
