Needles and Safety-Pins


I had two injections today; one in each leg. The immunisations were as follows:


...LEFT LEG:..PCV or "7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine" for short.
RIGHT LEG:..DTaP (Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis)
............................IPV (Inactivated Polio Vaccine)
............................Hib (Haemophilus influenzae)

I was not best pleased about the needles. (Note to self: Grow up to be a pharmacologist and invent a system of immunisation where the stuff can be mixed and applied with nappy cream.) I had lots of Mummy milk afterwards, so it was probably just about worth the all the agony. And pain. Agonising pain, in fact.

Incidentally, my weight has shot up to 9 lbs and 2 oz since I was last weighed. This is the first time I have weighed more than Dirk did when he was born. The great wobblebottom!
