'Annie is a bit sick and sad about her 'jections Mumma'

I have been nursing the Littlest Beast from hours now. I took her for her 12 week immunisations...(yes I know she is 20 weeks old already.. I have a good excuse. I forgot.)
The nurse was quick and kind and it was too traumatic for any one. She told me not to worry about forgetting. She said 'you didn't forget, you're here.' That made me feel it was less of a Mumma Fail. Alfie sang his crying sisters a 'don't cry, it's alright' song. He loves his little sister, he has been kind to her all afternoon because 'she is a bit sick and sad about her 'jections Mumma'. Around 3 her temp started creeping up and she started to get a bit grumpy. By 4 I couldn't put her down. She has been in my arms ever since. Right now she is sprawled across my lap. There is something so beautiful about watching a baby sleep, especially when they are sick. Her pink cheeks and the little sucking movements of her bottom lip fill up my heart in a way I can't describe in words. I love this baby.
