Poor baby

I feel so terrible. Maddy had to get her first shots today, and it was seriously the most traumatic experience ever. I knew I would hate seeing her get shots, but had no idea it would bother me so much!

The rest of the appointment went so well. She’s growing just like she should, and she smiled when the doctor asked her to (so impressed with my baby!), and they said she’s perfectly healthy and a happy, social baby.

And then she got her shots.

The let me hold onto her hands and talk to her while they were doing it, and she was looking at me and smiling, and then suddenly she started screaming. It was horrible. All I could do was just hold her and cry.

I know this makes me sound terribly pathetic, and it’s not a big deal at all, and I’m pretty surprised by my reaction. I think it got to me so much because she had just been smiling and "talking" (she makes little talking sounds) and then suddenly she was hurting. I have not ever heard her scream like that. I guess it means that she’s never been in pain before, which is good, but it was just so hard to take.

So yes, I am a pathetic mama. I can’t believe I’m being such a baby about this. Maddy is sleeping it off and will probably be fine tomorrow, and I’m a wreck!
