So last week Thursday my youngest had her One Year old injections... Luckily her dad took her as it's far from the nicest thing watching your baby get 4 injections one after the other!
Now I know from my previous kiddies that the injections are no joke! In my experience they can cause EXTREMELY miserable babies, with high temps and fevers. What I didn't know however was that they can also create you an extra shadow...
Yes.. I mean literally. Before Thursday I had one shadow... by Friday I had two! One shadow I can see when I block the light and it appears on the floor, wall etc. But my second shadow I can see ALL the time. If I walk to the kitchen it's there, if I sit on the toilet it's there.. if I take two steps right it's there and the same if I go left!
This second shadow is my baby. Who has literally clung to me every minute of the day for a full week now and I am just wondering when will this end? When does life go back to normal after injections? If I want to do something alone for a few minutes I have to be prepared to have my neighbours knocking over the scream that takes place!
It is absolutely crazy!
As of today I am literally reaching the end of my tether.. I have found myself counting numbers while washing up with a crying shadow pulling on my leg just to keep my sanity! Lucky for her she is awfully cute.. but I may be biased!
Fellow mums... tell me I am not alone??
But feeling this way is all part of parenthood, you have to take the good and the bad!
Any tips on how to get rid of a second shadow and bring life back to normal?!
Steem Love,
