My sweet little Christopher got his first vaccinations today (besides the one they gave him while at the hospital). It breaks my heart seeing this little man cry. When Mallorie was a baby, she had the sweetest, softest cry ever. You could barely hear her. Things have definitely changed, but back then, her cry wasn't bad at all. Christopher on the other hand is a whole different story! This boy can scream! His crying/screaming is very rare. He really is a happy baby, but when he's sad...YOU KNOW IT! And, when he's in pain...YOU DEFINITELY KNOW IT! When he got his PKU he held his breath and started turning purple before he finally let out a loud scream. I was hoping he was over the holding breath part, and I'm happy to say that he is. But...he's definitely not over the screaming part. It is one of the saddest things I've ever had to see. And, to just have to stand there and hold his hands and rub his face, which didn't help at all let me just add.
Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% grateful for vaccines. I'm so grateful that a simple little prick can protect my children from terrible diseases and illnesses. But, on the other hand, I wish they were all oral like the rotavirus vaccine! lol
It would be much easier on this mommy's heart if I could just say "Here, drink this!" and BAM no more polio!
So, this is how my little man started his day...
So happy. Nothing was making his sad. He could've smiled at me all day long. Then I made him go to the doctor, and now he's like this...
He is miserable. Mallorie bounced back from shots as if she never got any. I have a feeling Christopher is going to be quite different. He is on Tylenol and just wants cuddles! I will be happy to give them! :)
