So Will had his 2 month check-up on Thursday. I knew he'd be getting shots and I wasn't terribly concerned. I figured he'd cry and life would move on. I mean I'm not heartless I just realize that it's a necessity of life. He had a chest x-ray a week or so ago and it was hard to watch but I knew he was actually ok and I knew they needed to find out what was wrong so I wasn't really upset about it. Part of the reason I am this way is because I was a very sick child. I spent most of my childhood at Children's hospital so I know about needles and uncomfortable tests. I was also placed into a coma and I found out when I was older that they weren't sure if I would ever wake up out of that coma but they had to do it so I would get better. I, obviously, did wake up a week later. I had to learn to walk, skip, jump, etc. again. It was quite the experience... but enough about that. So he got one oral vaccination and three other shots. I thought they would give them all at once but no such luck. Two shots in on thigh and one in the other. He cried so hard I thought I would lose it. Luckily, Jeff was there, too. My heart just broke for him. He stopped crying not long after and seemed to be doing well. Then at about 7pm he just lost it. He screamed for almost 45 min. straight. I held him every different way but I just couldn't comfort him. His leg was red and swollen. The Tylenol wasn't working. I think he actually just cried himself into exhaustion. I don't really think it was me that comforted him. He woke up today much better but still crabby and refusing to take more that a 30 minute nap here and there today.
I talked to my boss today about when I'd be back at work. It's such a strange thing. I want to go back to work because I need to get out but at the same time I don't wanna leave Will. 32 days until I am offically back:( I train for two days prior. I have a new computer system to learn. I am scared. I was so good at the old system and now everyone has a leg up on me. They've all been on the new system for 3 months! I am the asst. and I'm gonna look like a total ass asking my employees what to do. Plus, there are some employees who will relish my ignorance and that makes me angry.
I am so sick of doing laundry and washing/steralizing bottles! I means seriously, it's like it never ends. It's only gonna be harder when I'm back at work. I'll be coming home only to do more work. That's what I mean about being torn about going back. Part of me wants to something besides laundry, but, on the other hand, I realize I will just have to do both:(
