First Shots

Today, Necon and I took Lydia to the doctor for her first set of shots. She got three shots and an oral immunization. The oral one was for rotavirus. The first shot was for pneumococcal stuff like pneumonia and meningitis. The second was Hib and the last one was the PediaRx. It is for polio, Hep B, Diptheria, tetanus and pertussis. We were really nervous that we wouldn't handle it very well, but she did so great!! We were so proud of her. We came home and gave her some Tylenol. She has been fussy while she is awake (which is WAY out of her normal), but I have kept her asleep most of the day. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow. I will say that the nurse was wonderful and the shots were over super fast.


Necon was lucky enough to be off work so he could go with us.
The cute little baby has no idea what we are about to do to her...
Still cute AND unsuspecting...
OUCH!!
Thankfully she stopped crying right away!

oh man. That's heartbreaking. I remember those 1st shots so well. I was strong in the moment and then would cry in the car on the way home. Glad we got to hang out last night, it was fun! Need to do it more.
