immunizations

These days have GOT to be the worst days to be a parent. I took Jayda to get her 6 month shots today (yes I know, she is 8 months old) and again, I'm sure it hurt me more than her. I guess it was sorta cute though because between sobs she was saying "mum,mum" and burying her face in my armpit. I'm not sure if that made it harder or easier. At least she wasn't mad at me. Anyhow, down to the details that you all want - Jayda is 28 1/4 inches tall, 17.1 lbs and her head is 44.9 cm round. Other than her head, which grew over 2cm she didn't really grow much. She is on the low end for her weight but I think, and so did the nurse that it's just because she's so tall and she hasn't evened out yet. Other than that the nurse said she seems to be doing well. But of course, I knew that without having some nurse tell me so. Needless to say, today will be cuddle time all day. I called Steve at work when we were done and said that I can't take her next time, he's going to have to do it. But, realistically even though he would do it, I probably will take her. Just give me a couple days to recouperate from the tramatizing experience and I'll be o.k. to do it all again. I guess that's what being a mom is all about:)

Yay Jayda another set of shots under your belt. Katy don't worry, with a mom and a dad as strong on the inside as you and Steve, Jayda may have been crying on the outside but inside she is as strong as they come!
