Alfies 2nd are today at half 2, im so upset iv been weeping all morning, last time the doc bent the needle so i have a different doc this time, i hate this i hate it i hate it, sorry girls i just need lots of pre-jab hugs before i go, my poor little soldier he doesnt have a clue thats the worst thing, its like taking a lamb to the slaughter hes playing with his gym on the floor laughing his little head off and i just keep looking at him thinking mommys going to let some horrible man stab you!

for both of you. How the hell did he manage to bend the needle? I would have been fuming

Leorah had her first yesterday. The injection was ok she only cried a few seconds but she has not been right since. very clingy, moody and off her food. The only way I can coax a smile is to continuously sing "head, shoulders, knees and toes".

oh yes they're not nice, Otis is due his 3rd lot later this month. He had his 2nd lot of jabs the week before Christmas, he cried his little eyes out!! It's horrible, when the nurse injects him it's alomst as if I can feel the needle burst through his skin!!
Fortunately other then being a bit weepy that evening he was okay, good luck for today it till will only be for a couple of mnutes and then you're outta there and back home where you can give him loads of kisses and cuddles

Thanx girls, well i just got back.

B4 we went i gave Alfie a few spoons of food and 3oz of milk, plus a spoon of calpol (thanx Cherie ma dear) and saved the other 3oz for after the jabs (and again Cherie thankyou ) and we set off on our way.
Got there early (i hate to be late) and i took off his hat and coat and sat him on my knee he was having a good look around and the surgery started to fill up with mums and babys all for their jabs ....

Alfie was being really good and i was really proud of how well he was behaving when all of a sudden my leg started to feel warm, i just thought no he cant not right now, but yes he was and pulling the face aswell, i kept thinking oh my god oh my god oh my god, i thought well i cant take him in with a full nappy so took him into the changing room to change him ...

Well had he done one or had he done one! To make it worse it was all up his back and the change table is one of those pull down ones in a room smaller than a matchbox so i couldnt get round it ... i was wiping and it was all up his baby grow and his top, luckily it hadnt gone onto his dungerees ...

Now after almost four months of knowing that babies cannot be trusted common sense would tell you to take a spare set of clothes but the doctors is about 5 minutes away and i didnt think it would happen today (motherhood has also made me ealise that they are more likely to when your unprepared) ...

Now id took him in dungerees so that i could just pop the bottoms open for his jabs but now hed done this i was having a nightmare trying to change him in this small room and whats more ... the bloody doctor beeper thingy kept beeping and i just kept thinking oh god thats for me i know it is, so i had to walk him trough the waiting room with his dungees back on but with not top underneath he looked like that kid in dennis, when he has no top on with them and i kept thinking everyone is going to be thinking iv bought my baby out in this weather with no clothes

Rushed into doctors room apologiesed for keeping him waiting (however i might add he did not apologies for keeping me waiting) and he made me unpop Alfies dungees and sit him on my knee ihad hold of his hands and started crying and screwed my eyes shut, waited for a squeel, nothing he must not of done it yet ... waited and waited and waited and then the doctor said stephanie i finished ages ago you can open your eyes ...

Not a peep, he did look at me and pull out his bottom lip but i think thats because i was crying, so i gave him his bottle put on his hat and coat and now we're at home ... and hes asleep

so proud of my little boy hes so brave much more braver than me ... anyways sorry this post is so long ladies but as you can see iv had an eventfull afternoon
