Olivia got her shots a week or so ago. I really honestly believe that I was more nervous than she was. I was so worried that she would resent me or something which I know is ridiculous but as a mother it has to be one of the things I fear the most.I think the anticipation was worse for me than the shot itself. We went into the office. Late as usual. I had to get one of my shots too- which may I add hurt and bruised me. Anyways Jake was holding her while the nurse pulled out the needle. I had to turn my back at first and out of nowhere I felt as though I was going to pass out. I became dizzy, hot then cold and nauseous to boot. I had to get out of there. I ran out of the room to stand outside the door and wait for the cry that was inevitable.
And then it happened. I stood out there for a moment or two longer just to make sure all 3 needles were given and just as I was about to burst in the room because I couldn't take it any longer the nurse opened the door and invited me back in.
I saw my baby, legs exposed with a tiny bit of blood on them. Tears rolling down her cheeks. Jake was bouncing her on his lap, this is something that usually calms her. I reached for her grabbed her and quickly started to feed her. At that point I could have cared less who was in the room, I quite literally whipped out my boob and started to feed her to calm her down. (I made sure she was a little hungry before we went in so this was an option after the shot.) She slept well for the night and the next day also. No reaction really... just really tired and sore.
Just to end on a funnier note, Olivia and I play a game where she flies through the air like a jet plane or in this case a space ship... well it just so happens that during that game today she decided to barf... all over my face and hair... EWWWWW! I thought it was the funniest thing!!! I was really grossed out but it was funny none the less!!! God I love that little girl!!!
