Today was Brody's 2 month check up and vaccinations. The good news he is now 11 lbs 4 oz and 22 inches long/tall. Everything looked great according to Dr Seebruch. But then.....THE WORST 2 MINUTES OF MY LIFE known as vaccinations! What a horrible thing that every mom has to go through. I have to admit I think I did well as I was instructed to hold down his little baby arms as he looked up at me with a beet red face, crying so hard no sound could come out as 4 needles were stuck into his fat little baby thighs. His eyes were saying, "why? why mom" He was pretty tough and calmed down dramatically after I picked him up and after about 5 minutes of consoling he had stopped crying. He slept for awhile and seemed ok. Then about 5 hours afterwards his legs must've been sore, because he was inconsolable again for an hour or so. It is the worst to feel so helpless and know that your child is in pain. Right now he is asleep on the couch but every now and then he jerks awake and cries for a little bit. Hopefully tomorrow he will be better. I think it was a rough day for the both of us. Luckily we don't have to go back to the Dr until May, but then he has to get 4 MORE vaccinations! Let's just say I am NOT looking forward to that...
