Don't worry too much about the shots. I think it's far worse for you than it is for them. My baby got the drinkable rotavirus one (no big deal), then the two in one leg (I forget the specifics now) and tetanus in the other. She screamed and turned quite purple, but quieted down within a few minutes.
She slept a ton that afternoon and the following morning, then returned to her normal, bubbly self. You got this!
Ditto this. K had a mini-meltdown in the pedo's office, but was fine within a few minutes. She was fussy and had a low grade fever that night, but she was totally normal by the next morning. It's tough, but you'll be OK! Save
Congrats JustJudy!! juliayadda so happy for you!! penguin129 try not to let her worry you! It sounds like things are going great for HL! K didn't start doing mimicking until closer to 8 weeks, so I'd say HL is doing great!
AFM - K is 11 weeks. She's so close to rolling from back to belly, and she's getting really good at grabbing things. This week she's managed to get one of her lighter toys in her hand and wave it for a second before letting it go and dropping it. She was a super trooper for the holiday weekend, even making it through 6 hours of driving to and from my parent's house on Saturday, some Black Friday shopping, and having a whole lot of activity in the house on Thanksgiving.
Personally, I'm having a bit of a rough week. My MIL is K's primary care giver during the day while I work, but she's been out of town this week visiting her sister. So I'm trying to juggle work, taking care of K (including making sure she's not just sitting like a lump all day), and the majority of the housework and chores. H is working extra hours at work because they're short staffed, so he hasn't been able to help me out much. And to top it all off, K went from sleeping 6-7 hours at a stretch at night to sleeping 2-3 hours again and dealing with a whole lot of gas. So I had a major meltdown today about 20 minutes before H got home when K had a total meltdown, the dogs were begging to go outside, the groceries hadn't been put away yet, dinner hadn't been started, and the house was a wreck. H came home, told me to just leave the groceries, order dinner, and let myself relax a bit. Then he took K so I could do that. Edit to add pics:
Bonus pic of the dog, who stands watch every night as I rock K to sleep.
I'm so late to this, I'm living in chaios of boxes and clothes in laundry bags now that we moved and im fighting off a nasty cold. But I'm getting some energy back so maybe only another week of being sick.
I'm starting to feel I'm getting bigger and having new aches and pains, so that's reassuring to me that he is growing in there.
I can't believe I start 3rd tri on Monday (well some sources say 27 w and some say 28w). Last appointment baby was still breach, bum right on my cervix. Doesn't seem like he will move. I already anticipated a c-section but now I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for it all.
