First needles suck too

Thursday Alex got her first vaccination shots,what an awful day at the doctors for all of us. Don't get me wrong, we love her pediatrician.
First Alex peed all over mommy while on the way to the scales (next time I'll take her diaper off just before she gets weighed). After her regular check up and a chat with her doctor, two nurses came in the room and each poked a needle into either thigh. It took a second to kick in but man when Alex realized what just happened she screamed.
It broke our hearts to see her in pain. Both her dad and I cried with her. What a heart-wrenching experience but her doctor said the 18-month shots are worse because they are aware and they remember.
Alex was in pain for a few days, another cry to figure out what was wrong.
