Yesterday I went to Dr. Murphy again for my very last newborn appointment. It was a little bit scary because I got three shots, plus some medicine, but Dr. Murphy is super nice! The only bad thing was that a side effect of one of the shots was a fever. I had to spend all of today in bed napping because my temperature was high and I was super cranky.
