The Meaning of "Shots"

Hi. Mom was so excited that it was the day called Friday. She said she'd had just about enough of big work for the week and she was ready to spend some time with me! We got dressed and she went to big work while I went to Mrs. Leigh Ann's.

I had a good day. Mom came and picked me up and said we had to go see Dr. Shuler. I heard her talking to Mrs. Leigh Ann about being freaked out about it. I didn't know what the problem was. I had seen Dr. Shuler before and it wasn't scary at all.

We got to the doctor's office and they called me for my appointment. I weigh 10 pounds 1 ounce now. Mom said the extra ounce was my hair. :) I'm 22 1/4 inches long. Mom said I'm getting awfully big! Dr. Shuler came in and checked me out. He had this little spaceship on a stick and he was looking through it into my eyes and ears. He had this other little spaceship that he used to do something to my chest. I think he was listening to something because he was really quiet. He checked me all over and he said I was perfect! That's a lot of pressure!! Then they started talking about these "shots". From what I could understand, these "shots" are supposed to keep me safe from things that could make me really sick. I guess that's good. Dr. Shuler left and we waited for a while. I took a little nap. Then, two nice ladies came in with a tray full of pointy things. First they gave me some kind of juice in my mouth. Then they put me back on the table. One lady was holding my leg. Mom was holding my hand and looking worried. The other lady did something and OOOOOOWWWWWW! Oh my goodness! That hurt!!! What in the world?!? That nice lady stabbed me with one of those pointy things!!! Geez! I cried to let them know that it hurt, just in case they weren't aware. Then she did it again! OW!!! I cried one more time. Maybe they didn't understand me the first time. Then they held my other leg. I didn't like where this was going. She stabbed me in my other leg too!! AAAH! I cried again. They must have understood that time, because they didn't do it again. I went to sleep after that. I thought maybe if I was sleeping they would leave me alone!
We went to Grandmom's for a new diaper and some snacks. Then we came back to my house. I went to sleep and slept for a long time. It was a long day. And my legs have these weird things on them...
