Triple Antigen Shots...

Jun Lee & Jun Yen visited the pediatrician yesterday for their triple-antigen shots. I was actually a bit worried as this vaccination is known to cause fever.

Thankfully it went okay, the twins cried a bit when injected, but settled down quickly. In fact they went back to sleep in a flash!

The dreaded fever was also kept at bay, thanks to some liquid paracetamol. This was a thick concoction that was orange in color, smelled quite strongly of orange flavouring, and which I basically shot into their mouths with a syringe.

It was funny with Jun Yen as she reacted to it with a frown at first, then was quite happy licking her lips when she realised it was sweet, and certainly something she's never tasted before. Jun Lee didn't like it, and spit out half of it.
