Jack got his shots

This is my blog space. But enough about me. Let's talk about Jack! :-)

Jack got his first set of shots on Monday. The first two shots he got in one leg and his expression was like a thought, as if "did I just get poked with something sharp?" The the next two shots were in the other leg. Apparrently they were the ones that have an effect as the syrum goes under the skin. Jack puffed out his lower lip on the first poke, then the very next poke invoked a sad "you just hurt me like the dickens" cry. It only lasted a few minutes. Not so with daddy, though. I cried for him for about 5 minutes afterward. It really was hard for me; to love this little one so much that I have such an intense paternal connection. Funny thing is, I didn't even realize that those emotions were there, or at least that close to the surface.

Jack was well for the best part of the day, but by the end of the day he got a bit feverish. I won't play-by-play the next 24 hours, but let's just say that -- once again -- Jack pulled through better than his mommy and daddy did. ;-)
