Baby Eagan - NICU Day 112 - Immunizations

Thank you Kristin Earle for my new blanket! It is so soft!

   

Eagan had three immunizations today. I think it hurt the two nurses that gave them to him more than it hurt him. He cried a bit but calmed down almost immediately. He had his two bottles today also. He did great with his first one, not so much with the second, but it is still a work in progress.
