Your first vaccinations...

Today is the day I've been dreading! It's the day of your very first vaccinations (well minus the vitamin K injection you had when you were born). Thankfully Daddy was able to come along as well for some moral support, you were actually sat on his knee while you had them done. There were two nurses and two huge needles, both were done in your thighs at the same time and you screamed! I felt helpless.

You didn't cry for too long but once we were home you were very out of character. You just lay on me awake and silent so we took your temperature which was a cracking 38.6, as it was over 37.5 we gave you your first dose of Calpol as you had also lost your appetite. This seemed to have worked as when we put you down to bed you slept well. Your next are in 4 weeks which lands at Christmas!


Also while we were at the doctors we bumped into a lady called Beth who we had first met at our antenatal class and then again in Tesco before you had arrived. Turns out she had her daughter on 29th as well! We were comparing notes of birth and how you both are now and they are pretty similar.
