Lil Shauna is a Brave Little Girl

Lil Shauna went for her 2nd 6-in-1 jab on Friday. To begin with, I was super worried that she will come down with fever. During her 1st jab when she was about 2 months old, she developed fever and was super cranky. Not only did she demand to be carried all the time, she didnt sleep well in the night. My mum and I had to take turns to carry her and pacify her in the night. This time round, she's no longer 3+kg. She is a 6.5kg baby. I fear for my arms.

The day started badly. Lil Shauna was at Popo's place. When I was about to go to Popo's place, it started pouring. I lugged my big bag, the expressed milk and a tiny umbrella (the only umbrella left in the house). I was so worried that the umbrella will give up on me.

Because the rain was so heavy and the umbrella provides such limited coverage, I resort to walking thru' the void decks. I told myself that I should be alright if I kept walking straight. After what seems like a long walk, I emerged at a main road, totally lost! In the end, I was so lost and the rain was so heavy that I ended up taking a cab. Aiya, should have done that in the 1st place and save me all the trouble. -.o"

Then, my mum & I brought Lil Shauna to the clinic. It was still pouring heavily. The 3 of us had to share 1 umbrella (cos I got to shelter them mah) and I was so drenched. Luckily, Lil Shauna was pretty cooperative.

Lil Shauna was given her 2nd 6-in-1 jab and the rotavirus vaccination, which was administered orally. She didnt really cry when they injected her, not like the 1st time where she almost screamed the roof off. She was also distracted by the oral vaccine. It is supposed to taste sweet and Lil Shauna was happily licking/ sucking the vaccine from the syringe. The last jab and the last dosage for rotarivus will take place 2 places down the road.

Surprisingly, she was not as cranky as we tot she would be. There was oso no fever. Must be the power of BM. Hehe. We brought her back and she even sleep thru' the night! But, just as we tot all are over, she gave us hell today. Super, super cranky. I am so, so glad that she's asleep now. She left me even more tired than before the weekend was here. Haha.
