The boys got a bunch of vaccinations, 3 shots and one oral, at the doctor appointment on Friday. They both took the shots OK. It was really hard to hold them down while the nurses poked their legs. Kevin got his shots first, and as soon as the shots were done he calmed right down when I handed him to Jamie. Then after Alex got his shots I held him for a minute and he calmed right down. That was nice cause when they went from silent to shrill cries I thought that they were "hurt" pretty bad. It made us feel a lot better when they calmed down so much.
We kept hearing stories about how babies get so crabby and run fevers and stuff. However both of the boys have done very well. They have been a little bit crabbier than usual, but not too bad. Neither one ran a fever at all. The only thing that they have been doing is eating less. Hopefully they can keep up like this for all of their shots.
In fact I think that the shots somehow reversed their eating personalities. Alex recovered his appetite really quickly. Kevin still has not. Now Alex chugs down his full 5 ounces very quickly and it takes Kevin forever to eat and he is only finishing 3-4 ounces.
