I remember when my princess took her first shot at the hospital; I believed it was the last day before her father and I took her home for the very first time. And to be honest I wasn’t quite sure the Nurse knew what she was doing! She literally was scrapping the blood off the bottom of her feet. Jay Jay was crying so hard, I started boo hoo crying with her.

The nurse literally left me questioning her degree and had the nerve to tell me I could have told her to stop! (Omg you already poked her) Through out my whole pregnancy I was strong, the only time I was an emotional wreck, was when I felt helpless and couldn’t lend a hand to a good friend of mind, and when I found out I had to have an emergency C-section.

And now I felt like this nurse was not only bothering and hurting my baby, but myself as well. Jay calmed us down, and he clearly had his hands full with a newborn and me, a big baby. When it was time to take her first set of shot, I promised you I cried more than she did. Although she was a little bigger, her first shot scream was still the worse, (reason why I still feel like the nurse did not know what she was doing)

Each time she took a shot I make sure I exit the room, and just let her father deal with that. Over time she just became a big girl over night, when she took her four shots, she only cried when they poked her the very last time, and little by little I was getting better at staying in the room. Even when she got her ears pierced she had me in shock.

Just last week she took two shots, and my baby girl took it like a Gee! It was two on her thighs an one she took orally. The nurse was also shocked, weird though she started to fuss cry when the nursed applied the band Aide. Either my baby looking out for mommies tears or that nurse was just extra gentle. But I was so proud of my little brave munchkin! I only wish she continue to be brave, and not end up like me a grown women still frightened by needles!

Aside from hearing your baby FIRST cry when they make their arrival into the world, which is always a good sign,(for me tears of joy) How did hearing them cry hard for the second time make you feel as a mom?
