Spent the mornings at the peds - Not a fun Appt

My2Beauties wrote: Urg, both girls had their check-ups today and that was not fun let me tell ya!! Hanna had to get 4 shots, they initially only told me 3 shots, so I was going to get her the flu vaccine this year since she is in daycare, I wasn't going to at first but I started really thinking about it. But when I found out she was already getting 4, I decided not to continue to let them stick the poor baby. Aubrey was scheduled for 3 shots today so I went ahead and got her flu shot. Poor Hanna, OMG she screamed when they gave her those shots in her arm, they gave her 2 in her leg too that she really flinched on but she didn't cry until her arm. I hated doing that to her. I swear I did. They said she's fine for when she starts school now, she won't need anymore shots until she is 11. Thank goodness. Poor little Aubrey didn't mind the first 2 shots but after the second one, she got PO'd. She was fine within minutes, Hanna wasn't fine until they brought her the toy box in, she got a toy for each shot. She definitely liked that. She told everyone about her boo-boos today! Oh but I think the shots were worse for mommy then they were for her I was so worried about it. Now I'm debating on whether or not I want to take her back for the flu shot.

Aubrey's Height: 25 1/4 inches (25th percentile)
Weight: 15 lbs, 15.5 oz (50th percentile)
Head circumfrence: 16 3/4 inches (I think, 50th percentile)

Hanna's Height: 41 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 39.9 lbs (75th percentile)

Both checked out perfectly!

Glad they both checked out great! Shots are over, mom can relax now!

MyBabeMaddie replied: Poor baby! I couldn't imagine stickin' a baby, Its bad enough sticking adults!

I say yes to the flu shot, but thats JMO, it will be way worth it when shes in school around all the germy kids.

I'm glad they did fine

lovemy2 replied: Glad everyone is healthy but sorry it was so tough - I did the same thing this year - Olivia's 5 year and Dylan's 6 month - it was HORRID - Olivia 3 shots - Dylan 4 - thought I was saving myself the hassle of two appointments but it would have been better to not take them together - thank god my Mom went with me

But, I decided to go ahead and get Avery done just to be safe and sure enough, she was sick 2 weeks later. I'm not sure that any of us will be getting flu shots anymore.

My2Beauties replied:
Exactly what I was afraid of. My mom got the flu shot about 3 years ago, first time she's ever gotten sick and gotten the flu, never got it any other year She said she'll never get it again. Man I hope Aubrey doesn't get sick. She has to go back in 1 month to get another flu shot, evidently with kids her age they can't give it all in one dose or something

Oh and AmyNicole....those needles were HUGE

A&A'smommy replied: Poor babies, I hate shots!!!! They are growing so well

MotherForever2043 replied: I hate those huge needles What brave girls they were. I would give get her the flu shot, but that just my opinion. Daycare can be pretty nasty sometimes.
