Ok so for anyone out there who is a mom or dad and has taken their child to have their first shots will relate to this entry. It was horrible. I mean I was a wreck all day waiting for it and I wasn't any better when the time came. Kadin was hungry at the time and the nurse suggested feeding him while she did it. Three shots in total - 2 in one leg and 1 in the other. So I fed my baby and while he stared into my eyes the nurse stuck the needles in....one by one.
His loving, content look quickly turned to shock and then was followed with the worse sound I have ever heard in my life. Kadin screamed and cried...so hard in fact that he was coughing and chocking on his milk. *SIGH* It was heartbreaking. And anyone who knows me probably expected me to lose it but I remained calm and did what I could to reassure him that I loved him and everything was ok.
It hurts even now to write about it.
I hope everyone is continuing to read the site and look at the pics. OH and please leave comments. Someday whether the site is up or not Kadin will be able to read all of this and it would be awesome for him to see what family and friends had to say.
