Baby En's second vaccine

En En had her second vaccination yesterday. It was a tiring day for her. Somehow since morning she seemed to be tired. When we reached KKH, she was still a little edgy but ended up giving sweet little smiles to those who managed her - the Specialist Clinic Asst who took her weight and length, the neonatologist (Dr Tan Pih Lin) who saw her and her clinic nurse.

After the consultation, she fell into deep sleep but had to be waken for the jabs. She was first administered the oral rotavirus vaccine (the cold med woke her up). Then came two jabs administered at the same time at each of her thighs. Was really painful to watch. And mummy me had to be an accomplice to hold her still. She was already crying with the hunger and tiredness and when the jabs came, she cried on top of her voice! What a heart shattering moment.

Dad was mentioning he too mouthed an 'OUCH' when En En screamed.

Sigh....she was still cranky today. Had a little fever in the wee hours and this afternoon at the infant care centre.

Fever no more now, but she is still edgy....wants to be carried.

Poor ah gal. :(
