Ok, I wish I was talking about the kind of shots you drink for fun, but I am not. I brought Leiyah to her 1 yeah check-up. She is a wonderful baby and healthy. Just above average for height and just below for weight. Developmentally good. Ok, then came the shots. I am weary about giving her shots just because you hear all of the talk. I know there are risks when she gets a shot, but I think that the pro’s outweigh the con’s. I am taking a chance, but what am I supposed to do. I don’t think I am educated enough about the shots to really opt out on the administering.
Here is my point, I get very nervous for the possible reactions she could get from these shots. I honestly am scared she will die from some crazy side effect. Today we went to the doctor’s at 9. Out by 10. HOme by 10:15. played a little, she was happy to be home. I put her down for a nap like usual at 11. She woke up just before 1. We had an alright afternoon. She was a little cranky and not eating like normal, but I thought it must have been the shots. So by 3:45 we took a walk, went to Acme, played in the pool, and played inside. I decided to put her down for another nap because she was just that cranky and I would just deal with her bed time later. She needed to sleep. I put her down and walked out and she passed out. I watched the screen on her monitor every 5 minutes or less. She didn’t move. And this is my fear, that she will not wake up due to one of the shots. I hate this feeling. I guess it comes with being a mom. She finally moved and I felt much better. All along I knew she would be ok, but there is always that slight chance it would not be that makes me worry. She woke up at 4:44 and we ate, played, and read books. She went down for sleep at 6:45 and I am happy. She just went down, no crying, and she is still down. I am so happy everything worked out. Another 3 months until I get to do this all over again. Yay.
