Shot Time Again :(

Today is the day that we had to go and get James' 6 month shots done. I really hate this part. I never want anyone to hurt him and this hurts him dang it. I was barely able to handle it when the home nurse came to take his blood for his bilirubin levels. I actually had to have Kevin stay in the room with James and the nurse so that I could go in the other room and cry (ok I am doing it now just thinking of it). I know that this is all for his own good and I don't want him to have any of the diseases that the shots are supposed to prevent, so I go and sit through the torture. Poor little guy gets 3 shots! 2 in one leg, 1 in the other. He only cried when the shots were given then stopped a second after they were done, but it is still hard for me to know that I am not doing anything to stop the nurse from hurting him. The good news is I was told that he is done with shots until he is a year old! Yeahhhh for that. I really think that it is harder on me than it is on him. I of course make sure that he has his tylenol in him to prevent the fever and the pain. I just hope that he does as well with this set as he has with all the other ones. He is such a brave little guy.
