Piece of Cake

I thought I'd take a quite minute and blog while both kiddos are napping. Milo's shot today went super well. I got my shot first and barely felt a thing which assured me that we had a good poker! I had intentions of nursing Milo while he got the shot, but I realized it was unnecessary. She did a quick poke... Milo gave a HEY! kind of a fuss for about 1 second and was fine. Not a single tear. And he's had a great day since then. I know you still have to watch for side effects for a few days, but so far so good. I am very glad we are doing one shot at a time. While Milo did fine with one poke, I'd hate to see him get multiple pokes in one sitting. And I feel good about our choice to do an alternative schedule. I feel like Milo is so much stronger now than at 8 weeks when he normally would have gotten several. Oh and that's without Tylenol. I wanted to be able to watch for any signs of fever or discomfort, then give Tylenol if necessary, which in Milo's case it was not necessary. I also had an ice pack to ice the area, but again... Milo hasn't shown any signs that he needs that. All in all I'd say Milo's first vaccine was a piece of cake!
