First Shots


We took Caitlin in for her first shots today :( .....and we both cried. I couldn't even watch the nurse give them to her! Then when we got into the car, I saw that she had tears running down her cheek!!! Poor baby girl! Now that we're home (and she nursed) we are all doing a lot better. She's all wrapped up now and drifting off into dreamland. I'm hoping she'll do well tonight and not need any Tylenol. She weighed 10lbs 13oz and is 22 inches long.......she's within the 50th percentile for everything! Thankfully, we wont have to go in again for shots until March. Oh, and her baby acne is practically gone!!!! Woo hoo!

Oh gosh... those eyes! She's soooo beautiful!

Those shots are truly heartbreaking. The needle seems cruelly long for their tiny legs. :(
Jani let us have the room afterward to nurse Sean, and of course... calm ourselves too! I hope Caitlin feels better today. Poor sweet baby...

What a healthy girl! I have always felt that it's harder for us adults to recover from the shots than the babies. It really is the worst thing EVER! I made Rick take the boys in a couple of times...it just breaks your heart! What sweet photos.
