Aww…Marquis got his first baby needles the other day. He cried uncontrollably and the whole doctor’s office and hallway filled with his screams. It really was traumatic for me too. I’ve never heard him scream and cry that much. Ever! I even wanted to cry too because I couldn’t calm him down. I felt so…hopeless.

He got two big needles, one on each thigh. I forget what they were for but I do have the little pamphlet to keep track of needles that the doctor gave me. He has to go back in two more months to get the second dose of both. I’m not looking forward to it because I know he’ll burst out and start crying again.

As you can see in the photo below, my little angel is very upset. I don’t want him to cry but I know he’s going to. There’s no stopping that from happening.

Does going to the doctor’s office with your baby get any easier as they get older? Any suggestions or tips on what to do would be very much appreciated. As you know, I am a first time teenage mother and I’d love to learn the tricks of the trade, especially making my baby happy. Thanks.
