IMMUNISATIONS

Today was such a lovely day weather wise.

I think we reached a top of about 31oC so Charlii & i headed to the markets with my mum & dad. Clint was out earning the pennies so unfortunately he couldn't come.

Charlii had her sundress & hat on & i had my summer clothes on again (i am only just beginning to fit into my old clothes, still a long way to go though) & we had a really nice morning wandering round the stalls & relaxing & chatting at the cafe over coffee.

It was a pretty sad day for Charlii on thursday, she had her dreaded immunisations! :(

Two nurses came over just as Charlii fell asleep, boy was she in for the shock of her life. It's really good down here, Clint & I are involved with the Royal Children's hospital & a University Research Program. They have put about 4 differen't vaccines into the one needle & are testing the effects. The kids get exactly the same vaccines but in less needles. Clint & i joined up to take part in the study because we figured that if it can help other little babies out then it's worth it.

So instead of taking Charlii to the doctors to get it done 2 trained doctors come to the house & immunise her in the comfort of our own home! Much easier!

It was a total of 3 needles, 2 in her left leg & 1 in her right leg. We both were very brave. Last time she had to get her injections Clint held her while i was crying in the corner but this time i held her & there were no tears, well no tears from me anyway. I watched the nurse do it & the needle went into her thigh about 3 cm deep!! No wonder babies scream when they have it done. It was over in seconds but Charlii was so upset.

Nanni Batty was here so she had lots of cuddles, a bottle & a sleep.

She has been a bit cranky for the past few days but other than that she has been so brave, a little gem.

It's over now for another 2 months!

I have just taken a picture of Clint's tattoo so i thought i would put it on:

Tomorrow is going to be another beautiful day & Clint has the day off from work so who knows what we will be getting up to!

Until next time........
