A long text to my dad

No. not urgent. just needed some words of encouragement. Just need either you or mom to tell me I'm doing a good job. William got his vaccines today. He is in TERRIBLE pain. Screaming and writhing like I've never seen. so I called the doctor and he said that this happens in 5% of babies and it's okay. Just to give him Tylenol and hold him as much as possible. He finally fell asleep. My poor little angel. Dom is at a work event so I'm resisting telling him about it so that he doesn't look at his phone and worry. I drank some coffee to help myself stay up with him and hold him. And I ate some Belvita cookies to make myself feel better. And I'm watching Netflix in Spanish to distract myself. It will be okay. He's sound asleep but if I even move a muscle he cries in pain so I'm staying very still and he seems much happier. If he's still in pain in four hours I can give him another dose of Tylenol. He probably will be and that's okay. It's much better to feel ill for one day and be immune to those terrible diseases. I never knew how much you and mama did for us girls. Anyway. Night dad. Love you. He just smiled in his sleep. Good sign. Thank God. Enjoy your movie. Love you


Dad's response- He’ll make it.  You’re a first time mom.  Remember this moment.  With your 4th kid you won’t even flinch.
