So it took me a while to compose myself to make this post. Today started out so good. I was celebrating my 2 month birthday and I thought everyhing was going great. Then my Mommy picked me up from Grandma CC’s office, got Daddy from work and we went to see my doctor – Dr. Amy. I thought it was just going to be a nice time, but then came the needles, shots, and vaccines. WOW THAT WAS NOT FUN. I was (and still am a bit) a very very upset little Alex. It was very tramatizing for both me and my Mommy (and also my Daddy who thought this was very cruel and there must be a better way to do these immunizations). My Mommy and I cried together, but that still didn’t make me feel better.
Infant Tylenol has helped a lot and so has the extra attention that I got from my parents and from Panda Cat. She didn’t like that I was so upset. Also the little ice packs that Daddy put on my legs helped out. I finally got over being uspet and cranky, and managed to go to sleep for a while.
I think that my doctore took lessons from the Spanish Inquisition. Just like that lab tech that I met before I was a week old. They must all be trained at the same place. I don’t think I like needles at all. (Mommy says that ok and that means I won’t want to be near drugs when I get older)
I am going to go sleep now.
A tired, cranky, uspet, in pain (but healthy)
