4 Month Vaccinations

It's hard to believe that our baby girl is already four months old! To celebrate this milestone, Annie had a date with the public health nurse for her vaccinations. For her two month shots, I took her during the day while James was at work, and resolved to never fly solo again. Watching your baby cry in pain, and look at you with sad eyes was too much for this new mom to handle. For the recent shots, I purposely booked it in the evening so that James could come along.

As Alberta has redeployed nurses to staff the H1N1 clinics, Annie's appointment was only half the regular time. She was weighed, tipping the scales at 13lbs 14oz, and received her shots. James held her, and she did really well! Despite my best efforts, I once again cried at the sight of an upset baby girl. After a comforting feed, she was back to her usual self. She was drowsy the following day, napping on and off for most of the day. She is now back to herself, full of energy and giggles.
