Shots Are No Fun!

Ilah got her first sets of shots yesterday. No fun. The poor baby had no idea what was coming and was just smiling away during the beginning of her 2 month exam. Me on the other hand? I was taking deep breathes in the corner. Oh - and taking pictures. Let's start from our arrival....

All bundled up, we headed to the pediatrician's office and didnt have to wait long at all...


This girl is probably thinking, "oh boy. The camera again? Mooooom".

There's my pretty girl!

We got her undressed, and after they measured her height {now 23 inches long} we headed to the scale to find out that Ilah now weighs....11.7 pounds! Everything checked out great during her 2 month exam! And then it was time for the shots....

Cue me with high anxiety when I saw the needles come out...


Daddy was right there by his little girl's side as she was getting her shots administered....

I will spare you from seeing the photos of our sweet girl wailing from getting her shots. It would break your heart.

But here she is after....with sparkling bandaids over her owies....

Ilah handled her shots so well. I really thought it would be worse than it was and that she would ball her eyes out for about an hour afterwards {in fact, I thought we both would be}. But the moment the last needle came out, she stopped crying. I looked at her in shock. Really? That's it? No more tears? What a brave little girl we have!! When the nurse said we could pick Ilah up and love on her I felt that we were giving eachother a reciprocal hug : )

We were really gentle when putting our little cupcake's clothes back on....

She held on to that paci for soothing, putting her fist against it to make sure it didn't leave her mouth! Ha! Do you see the little tear streaming from her right eye? Awww....

I think Ilah was definately ready to get out of there and so was mommy!....


I can't believe how content she was after getting all those shots!....

But she probably felt exhausted from all that poking and couldn't wait to get home! : ( She fell asleep in the car, like she always does....

After she woke up from her afternoon nap, she was a little fussy for about an hour but it passed and she was fine the rest of the day and night. The pediatrican advised us to give her baby Tylenol only if she developed a fever but we didn't need to use it. No fever. Thank God!

In other news....Ilah slept for 8 hours last night! 8 hours straight!! I woke up at 7:30 a.m. this morning and frantically looked at the monitor and then headed to her room to make sure she was breathing!! She has never slept through the night - so I suppose this is any parents first reaction! After she took her morning bottle, she ended up going back to sleep for another 3 hours. Needless to say, mommy got good rest last night and this morning! Now let's see if this sleeping pattern repeats itself! *Wishful thinking!*.
