Shots and Tears

The other day we took Loralai to get her shots. I had accepted the fact that I was going to have to be the bad guy and hold Loralai still while the nurse gave her the shots. Unfortunately, its a lot harder to get through that doctors appointment then I had let myself believe it would be. As soon as the nurse stuck the needle into her chubby little leg and I saw her face get all red as she built up a scream; I wanted to punch the nurse in the face. She was causing my baby girl to cry. Even though I knew she was just trying to do her job, it was hard to just sit and watch her do that. Worse than that, holding Loralai still started to feel more like holding her down. Then after the doctors appointment, Loralai wasnt feeling well. So I gave her some Tylenol and a bath and she went to sleep after 3 hours of crying.
