Shots, shots and more shots

Yikes,
Yesterday was such a crazy day. Rachel had her 6 month appt(weighing in at a big 16.9 lbs and 25 inches long) and she got 4 shots. Oh I hate when they give them shots...it hurts my heart. Well, also Hannah had to get her flu shot but last week the Dr. told me that she could get the mist in her nose instead of a shot so the good mother that I am told Hannah ...."You don't have to get a shot today. Dr. MacDowell said that you can get the mist that goes in your nose" So as soon as we walked in the office Hannah told the nurse proudly "I don't have to get a shot today" she replied "ooh well, maybe" She looked at me and said "we used our last mist this morning". uuuuugggggggghhhhh, now I'm feeling like the good mom. So needless to say Hannah was clueless as to what a shot really felt like at this point. Until......I still can see it in slow motion......The nurse grabs Hannah's thigh, squeezing it, while Hannah is watching her every move not scared at all yet still clueless to the pain that is coming, the nurse starts to put the needle in and Hannah is still talking , and then the needle goes in , Hannah's face was in shock, now tears, now a look at mom with a look of how are you standing there letting me go through this pain, alot of tears are now flowing, the shot is done but the tears aren't. Oh, how horrible I felt....so we made a trip to the DQ.

So lesson learned, don't ever tell you kid they are not getting a shot when you go to the doctors.
