Sick Baby + Shots = Miserable Baby

Poor Zooey! She woke up yesterday morning with the cold I've been harboring since last Friday. She still seemed to be in pretty good spirits except for the congestion. She was scheduled for her 2 month shots. We were a little late on them, because of the insurance situation; as long as she didn't have a fever she could still be vaccinated. So off to the doctor we went. She got tired and fussy sooner than normal (probably because she's sick), and we waited for awhile for the doctor. After crying from the shots, she pretty much zonked out when I put her in the car seat. She seemed fine for her next wake time. It was the next one where I got a taste of one of the hard parts of mommyhood. As I rubbed her little legs as instructed by the doctor to do, she started screaming and crying in pain. :( This was SO hard to watch! I stopped and tried to do the bicycle kicks (very gently, mind you). Still crying. I tried to distract her, hold her, shh her, all my usual "calming tricks," but nothing worked. It hurt her when I changed her diaper, too. She finally settled down a bit when I gave her Tylenol and fed her, so I put her under the tree (Oooo - lights! Very exciting!) where she kicked her little legs. I am just trusting that the exercise helped. I think it did; she seems a little better today. Her congestion's cleared up a bit, too...praying for a better day tomorrow for my sweet girl's first Christmas.

Does this face not say, "Mom, what are you up to? I have a feeling something bad's going to happen here..." I took this with my phone while we were waiting for the doctor.
