So sad!

Well, we did it. Yesterday was the "big day." Yesterday, we took the kids to the Public Health Center, and they both recieved their shots. I was dreading it, as I told you. Well, first of all, let me say that I was very impressed with the place, as well as the people who worked there. The nurse that did the shots first sat us down, explained what shots she was going to give the kids, what all they were for, and what they would get the next few times, etc. She told us what side affects to look for, and what was no common and stuff. Then, when I asked her about her opinion on the whole MMR and Autism thing, and she was helpful, as well as gave me quite a bit of information on it to bring home and read. After much thought and prayer, I decided that it is best for us to have Liam get all his shots, and to trust the Lord through it all. There have been measle outbreaks recently in Ontario, so I for sure want to protect him as much as possible!

So, we decided to have Liam get it over with first, and then he could go out and play with the toys. They ask you to stay for 15 mins after the shots, just to be sure everything is okay. The nurse showed Matt how to hold Liam in his lap and hold him still, and then she gave him 2 in his leg, then one in his arm. Oh boy, did he cry and scream! It was really sad. HUGE tears running down his face. But, as soon as he saw his Scooby-Doo band aid (not that he knows who Scooby-Doo is) and then went out to the toys, he was fine. Then I was left to hold Leila. She cried, but really only while the needle was in her. After that, she was fine. The place there has a seperate room for you to go in to feed your baby, which is so nice.

So that was our time yesterday. We are all done - until November! I guess that is all that is exciting with us. Oh, except that we finally got curtains for Leila's room. Once her room was painted, I could not find any curtains that I liked, so we started to look at fabric. We found this great pattern - it is so cute! It is light pink with brown polka dots! Perfect! Then we got a plain brown sheet to add in a stripe for some variety. So my mom-in-law spent all afternoon Monday at my house making them (since I am definitely NOT a seamstress!) They turned out so cute. I will take a picture to show you.

Well, that is all. Until I post again - tata!


I put the following two pics on here so you can see the resemblence between Leila and Liam when he was Leila's age. Sometimes they look so much alike it is kinda weird! Good thing they are both so cute! (and yes, I know that one is already on the blog. Get over it!)
