Poor Connor…

Connor got 4 shots on Friday and was not thrilled to have it done.  He gets that from his father because I hated getting shots as a child!

Well, Connor was pretty sore Friday evening and was crying and fussing quite a bit.  The only time we had heard a “pain cry” from Connor in the past was when he had the diaper rash.  So, listening to him cry during the shots as well as later in the evening just broke our hearts.

Friday evening, I held him quite a bit and tried not to move around too much.  Victoria fed him around 4pm and then he was not interested in eating again until 2:30am the next morning.  We gave him some children’s tylenol (Dr.’s recommendation) and that seemed to help a little bit.  I decided to sleep on the couch with Connor and I fed him at 2:30am (when he woke up hungry).  At that point, he seemed to be feeling a little better — still a little tender, but he was not nearly as fussy as he had been.

I took him upstairs to change his diaper, swaddle him, and put him in his crib.  I wasn’t too sure he would want to be put in his crib since he had not been feeling good.  (I think he liked sleeping in Daddy’s arms.)  Well, I knew he was feeling better because I got two smiles out of him while I was changing his diaper!  Believe me, having those two smiles at 2:30am, after he had been in so much pain, was great to see.  I laid him down in the crib and off to sleep he went.

I went golfing with Uncle Danny Saturday morning and Victoria sent me a text message saying, “Connor is feeling better.  He smiled at me.”  Again — another sign he was improving.

Connor and I took two naps (2 hrs each) this afternoon and evening.  He seems to be a little tender still, but has been sleeping most of it off.  Something the doctor said would happen.  Hopefully he will be back to himself tomorrow.

Get well, Connor.

Love,

Daddy & Mommy
