Brandon's Misery

Lee moved the crib into our bedroom today. Ah! I feel better.

Today, not so good. Brandon got innoculated today. Lee held him while he got his shots. Yes, shot! Three shots! My God! Once he got two of them, he was done. The third just put him over the edge. He hated getting the needles. He cried like we abandoned him. I don't like that cry. I just wanted to hold him close and console him. He did calm down and sleep a bit. He seemed okay for a bit. So far, Brandon's okay. *Sigh* And me too.

Tonight, I made plans to go out with my friend Ruth. We went to see "The Lake House". I was enjoying it. Until my phone rang. (Don't worry, my phone only vibrated.) Lee was told to call only in emergency. Which it was. As soon as I answered my phone, I could hear Brandon's frantic crying in the back ground. Lee told me to come home right away. Brandon would not take the bottle I left for him. (The bottle was pumped about late afternoon at about 4:30-5pm.) I left the theatre immedietly. I was home in 15min. Brandon was crying so hard he was actually crying tears. That part broke my heart. I tried to soothe him enough to get him to take the breast. He eventually took and boy did he eat. He was hungry.

Now, Brandon is comfortable. He has been sleeping comfortably on mom and now on daddy. Yeah, he's had a rough day. Being sharply poked 3 times and then being hungry for so long. Well, I'm not sure what is up with his refusal of the bottle. I hope it is just fussiness from the innoculation. If not, I will not be able to get away from him for long periods of time for the next 4 months. *sigh*
