Mikey's Bravery, Mama's Wimpery

I took Mikey in yesterday for his 2 month checkup and first round of vaccinations. He weighs 11 lbs, 2 oz (in the 45% range), and 24 inches long (85%). 

When the nurse came in to give him his shots, he was a pretty happy boy. Smiles and giggles all around until that first needle went in. Then he screamed and screamed and screamed. And I started crying. Two more shots and five minutes later we were back to the smiles and giggles but I was still crying. The good news is, he'll forget it ever happened. The bad news is, one day he'll realize what's about to happen and we'll have to hold him down on the table with the help of three nurses, just like we had to do to his Uncle Mike. 

I think I'm scarred.
