When we got done I was driving home and Bruin started howling louder than ever and when I finally got him calmed down at home he crashed for a few hours (and so did I). When he woke up he was sad again and only wanted to be held, so I held my little man and rocked him for sooo long until my arms felt like they would fall off. Everytime I tried to set him down he'd start crying again (which is soo not like him!). Phil got home from work and was able to give me a break by holding him for awhile. Then by about 7pm he seemed to feel better and was laughing and talking to us again.
I do hate those doctors appointments and am not looking forward to the next in two more months, even though it was really sweet to hold him and sing to him and be his mommy.
He is all smiles now and it is getting really fun!

Hi. I'm one of Amy's friends and I just had a bit of advice for the next round of shots. My baby's 8 months old and for the first set I premedded him and it helped a lot. It just means you give them a weight-appropriate dose of tylenol like an hour before the appt so it kicks in when he gets the shots. It prevents aches and pains and helps a lot. It's so sad to watch tho.
Thanks for the advice! I actually did give him Tylenol before we went but I think I waited too long to give him the next dose and I think it probably wore off during one of his naps :(
I remember those sad days, but it does feel good to comfort and snuggle, and it makes you appreciate the other days that are good, too. :) Have fun!!
oh bummer those are sad days. Hopefully next time will be better for him and you too:) He is growing so fast!
So sad :(
But he is SO CUTE!
I don't look forward to that part of being a mommy.
I know...it's so sad! I made Todd come with me and I didn't watch. At least you know they won't be in worse pain by getting polio or whatever they are immune to now. Bruin is getting so big! It's sad not to watch him grow up in person. I remember when he was in your belly...
