Needles...Ouch!

Tears were flowing this morning from Ezekiel, his Mum and his Nan-Nan!

I had to take him to get his 8 week immunisation needles this morning, something I wasnt at all looking forward to. Firstly, because I am petrified of needles and knew it was gonna hurt little Ezekiel and secondly, because I didnt want him to scream his head off.

I took my mum with me cause Jeremy was at work and I needed some moral support!

Ezekiel had 2 needles in the right leg and 1 in the left leg.

The first needle was for immunisation against Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis/Polio
The second needle was for immunisation against Hepatitis B (a booster shot)
The third needle was for immunisation against Pneumococcal

When we walked into the place all you could hear was screaming babies! When our number was called and I had to sit Ezekiel on my knee and hold his little leg really firm and that's when the tears started to fill my eyes as I looked at his little face!

I had tears in my eyes cause I knew the scream that was about to come and my mum had tears in her eyes cause I had tears in mine! he he...

Surely enough Ezekiel let out a mighty scream that kept getting louder and louder as each needle went into his leg...we had to wait 15 minutes after the injections just to make sure everything was ok.

He's been a little grumpy today but has been sleeping a lot like they said he would after having them!

I think his father can take him to get the next lot of needles in April! :D
