Injections

So far I've had Abigail's 2 and 4 month injections. I was a nervous wreck; I felt sick driving to the doctor’s clinic, even while waiting in the waiting room I somehow managed to spill my coffee down my leg and all over one of my shoes and white sock that immediately turned latte. Quietly I held Abigail's arms while two nurses used two needles at the same time in her thighs. She held her breath until she went red and then let out a blood curdling cry ... Shaking I tried to calm her with hugs, kisses, stroking her back, nothing helped until and I popped her on the boob, even then she took her time to settle. I'm not looking forward to her 6 month injections.
