Ouch!

Today Gigi received her first round of shots. Worry was my middle name as I entered the doctor's office. I remember taking Wally for his first round and it broke my heart to see him squirm and scream. Luckily, Gigi had a slightly different reaction. She didn't even notice the first shot. The second, third and fourth, however, she met with a healthy roar. Then it was over and she easily settled down. The nurse put two sesame street band-aids over the spots and handed her to me to nurse. This moment was one of the rare occasions when I felt completely happy to be a nursing mother. It was wonderful to be able to comfort my daughter this way. She ate for a good 30 minutes and then we headed home. She is now snuggly napping in her car seat. She will eat again at 1:30PM and then it is back to snooze land. Hopefully all will be calm and relaxing for her the rest of the day.
