Shots are a pain...literally

4-19-12: Well today was a big day for baby Skyler. Daddy and I took him for his 2 month shots. Skyler seemed to be more prepared to get his shots than mommy did. We arrived at the hospital, and Skyler was as content as he usually is. First he was given a liquid remedy that was to help with his digestive tract. He just laid back and drank it like it was candy. We then laid him on the table to give him 3 injections, that total 5 different shots. He got one needle in one thigh, and 2 in the other. Daddy recorded the event, which is posted under videos. It is quite sad. Skyler screamed as he was poked, but then it only took about 15 sec when it was all done for him to be content again. Daddy and I were quite impressed and thought... "well this isn't so bad". Ha ha ha... He slept for about 3-4 hrs and woke up at about 6. You could just tell he was in so much pain, as he'd cry. I quickly ran to the store for some medicine, and we took turns rocking him. We expected a very rough night and were going to switch off. Much to our surprise though he fell asleep at 8 and didn't wake up til 2. Even then he fed, then fell right back to sleep for 3 1/2 more hours. then slept again until 8. We were so happy to get the rest we needed. And Skyler is once again a happy boy:)
