At Beck's 2 month checkup on Wednesday, he got his second set of immunizations which was the first set I was around for. He was getting hungry before the nurse came in to give him his shots so I gave him a bottle while we were waiting. Before he could finish it, the nurse came in so I had to take it away from him. He started to cry which I thought was good for me- if he's already crying then it won't seem like he's in extra pain when they give him his shots.
WRONG
He didn't cry, he WAILED. It was AWFUL!!! The poor thing turned bright red and just screamed and screached. What was worse was nothing could make him feel better. I cuddled him, gave him his paci, gave him MILK and nothing helped. He did finally calm down to my cuddling... ok, to his bottle... but wow, was that tough. I think Seth will get the pleasure of taking him to his next visit.
The poor thing was still hurting at night too- it was such a sad, pathetic, "I just want to be held" whimper/cry, I never wanted to put him down. We gave him some Baby Tylenol (I can not believe how teeny the bottle/dosage is) and that little miracle worker in a bottle was a Godsend. He slept til 3:00 am! Woohoo! I think we'll give him Tylenol every night, just kidding, I would never do that, just kidding, we'll give him Ambien, just kidding...
Thankfully, we got our happy boy back in time to watch the Cats game.
