One year older

Yesterday, we took our sick little peanut in for her year one check up. She has a cold, and a mild version of pink eye. Meaning, she has a stuffed up nose and goop in her eyes. The doctor also removed goop from her ears. As you can imagine, she didn't enjoy that one bit.

But it got worse. They also took blood from her little finger by poking it, and then drawing the blood out. That isn't fun for me when I give blood, to her, it was murder.

But again, that wasn't the worst of it. Next, she was given three, yes three needles in her arms. Inoculations, they call 'em. At this point in the story, Autumn was looking to call the cops. When the needles were finally done, she was a mess of sobbing little baby. Runny nose, goopy eyes, and sore arms. She actually had four bandaids in her.

Holding her, she was just trying to get her bearings, breathing heavily. It was so sad.

And her ordeal isn't over. We got eye drops for her little pink eye, which he have to put in 4 times a day. And we're sticking salt water up her nose to clear that. She's still coughing, her nose is still stuffy, and her eyes are still goopy. We're hoping that she has a full recover for the big day on Saturday.

This is Autumn on a happier day.
