Measles Vaccine

I did take a halfday leave of absence today to bring Maegan to our health center for her Measles vaccine shot. I was very reluctant at first since she feels hot earlier today, however the health worker told me to just go there and personally ask the nurse.

So of course I went there, backed with all the necessary baby things and my superficial courage to be the one to hold her while they are injecting on her. She was quite a good girl today, she slept while waiting in line for almost 2 hours. When we were about to be called coincidentally that was also the time she woke up. Sorry Maegan, but we really have to have this vaccine. According to the nurse, the vaccine wont cause fever to children. I warned her that I am afraid of needles and that I close my eyes while holding my baby, another health worker helped me along. Huh! what an experience, it seems like the first time every time. Meagan cried just when the nurse pulled out the needle. Yepey! my daughter was braver than me. I hold my breath the whole time. Haha.

I went home and Maegan was already playing with her older sister Maggie. I worked in the afternoon. Before going home, Mawe and I dropped by at Pacific Mall to buy my children needs. Pampers Comfort, Cerelac and the likes. Now my loved children and husband are already sleeping. I will also sleep a bit.
