Avery went to her 2 month dr visit when she was almost 2 1/2 months old. We postponed the visit until after the family reunion because she was getting her first round of shots and we didn't want her to be testy at the reunion since we knew she would have to sit in her car seat for the 5 hour drive and be passed around by loved ones. She got 5 immunizations, 2 in each thigh and one oral.
As we were waiting for the nurse to come in to give Avery her shots, I took a quick break to the restroom. I was pretty calm about the whole situation until I stood in the hallway of the dr's office waiting to get into the bathroom. I could here kids of all ages screaming from every room, it was like a torture chamber. There was no other way to describe it. I could here one child screaming "NOOOOOO! NOOOOOO!" repeatedly another child was saying "I didn't choose this, please don't don't!", and then you see the nurse walk out of the room and on to the next room to administer more pain to the next victim. It was unbelievable and got me sooooo nervous. Click the image for more pictures.
Avery is an extremely mild mannered baby, she only fusses when she is very hungry and squirms when she is ready for a diaper change or bed time. So it was very hard for Mark and I to see out little angel cry to the point of turning red after she was given her shots. Once the nurse finished, Mark held and soothed her while I cried and tried to tell Avery that everything was OK. Avery and I went to bible study later that day and she still was not herself, she was irritable and fussy. I think she was completely back to normal after about 2 days.
