Here's to Health


Friday Hunter saw the doctor. She is now 9lbs 12 oz! Big fun. She also received her second round of shots. I missed the first round which they administered around three a.m. the second morning after she was born, and I was fast asleep. She came back to me a little red faced and I cooed to her and fed and snuggled her and all was well. This time, they made me hold her hands while two nurses simultaneously stuck each of her thighs. Innocently, she curled her fingers around my thumbs. I couldn't watch. And she yowled! The nurses must have known that even the most rational mother, fully comprehending the health benefit, could not feel many warm regards for the needle poking culprits! They cleared right out, I wiped a few tears, composed myself, and in no time we were heading into the loop to meet papa at a block party.
