The morning after "the shots".....

Current mood: sad

Well things went well last night, Mia didn't wake up at all. Poor baby was really tired from the horrible day yesterday. I wasn't sure what to except for this morning.

I woke up alittle later than I usually do, it was alittle after 9 and Mia still wasn't up. I went downstairs to wake up some more and to start on her breakfast. Then I heard her wake up and start crying. Before I could get her breakfast done I went upstairs to comfort her since I knew she probably woke up uncomfortable from her shots yesterday.

She perked up once I got into the room. She sat down on her butt on the opposite side of her crib while holding her Pooh blankey. (A spot where I can't reach her) I turned off her music and night light and chatted with her. I then tried to convince her to get up so I can pick her up and get her out of the crib, but she refused. She didn't cry or fuss, she just didn't want to get up from her spot. I tried talking to her, tempting her with toys and even walked out of the room but she didn't budge. Hmm... odd. She just sat there. Finally I took her little hands and tried to help her stand and thats when she tried, then immediately sat down and cried in pain. Poor baby! Her legs where hurting her to much to stand! (She got 3 shots in them). My heart broke.. but I still couldn't reach her. Finally I made her try to stand and quickly swooped her up. She was ok once she was in my arms. So we went downstairs to start our day.

I first changed her diaper which she didn't like, I checked her bandaids and all 5 were accounted for, then we went to the kitchen to get her breakfast. She ate very well and perked up alot afterwards. I put on some shows to watch on TV (of course Gabba was a big part of the lineup) and she walked around alittle bit. Then she became very clingy again she didn't want to be put down or even play. So we just cuddled on the couch watching Gabba until she got tired. Whenever I went to put her down she would spin around and rest her head on my knees with her blankey or try to climb back up. Once I knew it was nap time I gave her alittle more tylonal and I put her in her in her play pen downstairs (its cooler down here than her room) she cried alittle but then went right to sleep.

Not sure how the rest of the day will go, she did let me pull off 4/5 bandaids and even helped with a couple. Hopefull she will feel better soon.
