Ouch!

Little Emmie had her first set of shots today. Poor baby! She had 2 shots in one thigh, 1 shot in the other, and a liquid to top it off. She is covered with band-aids. It was awful! No delayed reaction on the cry. It was immediate. She turned red as a tomato and cried so hard she had real tears rolling down her face. It was pitiful. Yes, Mom cried, but nothing compared to dropping her off at daycare for the first time. That will be hard to beat. We are getting used to daycare, a little, but Emmie already has a cough and cold. They call it the "welcome package". Well, it breaks my heart, but I hope she will be tough from it in the end. Nana is going to watch her tomorrow and give her the day off. She needs the rest and personalized attention!
She is growing like a weed! Where has my newborn peanut gone?

Before the shots. She had no idea what was coming.
On our way out. Calmed down with the help of paci.

Babies are can definitely be fussy post-shots. This is how the night has been going.
