First Shots

[enduringplum]

Miranda had her first vaccinations today and isn't feeling very well now; she's sleeping very lightly and will start bawling at the first hint that she's being put down, so I'm sitting up with her in the sling. I would have declined the hepatitis vaccine again, but it's included in a single shot along with two other vaccines that are arguably more important for an infant; I would have just postponed it until she was six months old, anyway, since I was vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B when I was sixteen or seventeen.

Otherwise Miranda and I had a good day! We hung out with Catherine, the wife of one of Carl's good friends, and her son Jude, who is about two months older than Miranda. It's great to see Catherine looking so well-rested, because it reassures me that I will be able to sleep a straight eight hours again one day, which will be better for both me and Miranda. Miranda also enjoyed her car rides and then had a nice nap in her swing while I did some cleaning around the house and repotted the kalanchoe Carl bought me for our two year anniversary (which I forgot).

She's just now fallen asleep and I was, to my surprise, able to put her down for a moment, so I'm going to get some laundry folded.
