Surviving vaccination day

Baby Girl and I were out celebrating yesterday. She had survived her 8-week vaccinations, and it was the perfect occasion for tea and scones at Number Sixteen, our favourite London boutique hotel. But while I enjoyed our treat, the lovely outing didn’t seem to do anything for her.

When we got back home, I was dealing with a red, stiff, screaming Baby Girl. She was so upset I didn’t even manage to close the buttons on her body after changing her nappy.

It got to the stage where I called Daddy T at work, suggesting he jump into a cab as soon as he finished work. If he could get home even five minutes earlier than he would normally do, it seemed like it would be worth the £25 cab fare.

When he eventually did come home, he had two sick girls to deal with. One who was passed out in her basket and had a fever. One who was passed out on the sofa and had eaten too much chocolate to comfort herself after settling the one with the fever.

    Chocolate is well deserved. In fact you should probably have more tonight… Well done to your baby for being so brave! Did you give her any calpol? Did she suffer any side effects? (Except for being extremely upset).

    Thank you! Yes, we had to give her Calpol in the late evening. She experienced her first ever fever – 38.4 – and I felt so sorry for her! But she’s been fine today at least.

      Glad to hear she is doing well now. At least one person has forgotten all about it already… 🙂
