Beauty has a price

Saturday was a big day!  We got Makayla's ears pierced.  It was a very emotional moment for me.  Many people had told me to wait until they were older and we could make a big moment out of it.  Like take her to get some really nice earrings and celebrate.  There are other things I would like to make a bigger deal about than getting her ears pierced.  (like her true love waits ring or something) Anyways, I wanted to get them done when she was three months because that is when I got mine done.  I don't remember the pain, the crying, the cleaning, never got infections, and never had to get the pierced again.  So, we went for it.  Allen wasn't too excited about someone sticking a needle inside his princess' ears, but we will never had to do it again, hopefully!  We got to Claire's and I was holding Makayla to get the dot on her ears.  She is such a giggle worm that the girl had trouble getting it in the right place and she would get the marker everywhere BUT her ear! haha  She finally got it right, so we were ready to go for it.  I wasn't.  I told her to stop because I figured out I wasn't going to be able to hold her.  So my mom (her nini) held her.  I turned my back and plugged my ears, I heard the crying and then I started crying!  It was a horrible moment for about 10 seconds.  Then I fed her and she was perfectly fine.  Now its over and we never have to go through that again.  She looks so beautiful, of course she does without them, but I just love earrings on babies.  Now we can go find some really pretty earrings for her when she is done wearing the ones she has to wear for six weeks.  :)
