Zatanna came in at 26 inches, 16lbs 9oz with a head circumference of 16 1/2. They offered her the flu shot along with the other shots and I said no. I am tired of people just injecting people with stuff just in case. In case she gets that one strand of the flu but as for everything else you are on your own until they develop a new vacccine for the other strands and they put you on a once a day shot in case one of the 500 strands happens your way. She is only 16 lbs how much injected stuff can she deal with at one time. I don't want to find out. I understand that people are cautious but maybe there is a reason kids are allergic to everything today. We aren't all alike people maybe what will help me wont help you. Anyway, I am done ranting now. I still worry about it. I will worry something could happen to her every minute for the rest of my life but sometimes I have to say hey I don't think she needs that and I don't want it and hope that is the right choice.
She is doing very good today. When she got her shots she was pretty upset. It could have been because I was a bit of a wreck with them yesterday and she was responding more to me then the shots. Other than that the doctor said she looked great.
We started second foods. She had apricots w/mixed fruit yesterday...she was a little eh about them but she has two more days to try them out. I told the doctor we got her juice and she told me that is not something she likes to give them just yet. She said we could do it but to remember it is mostly sugar so to use it as a treat rather than every day. No more than 1-2 ozs a day.
It was cute when the doctor was using the stethescope, otoscope and whatever else they use she kept trying to steal them from her. It was cute. She tried to bite the stethescope :)
The doctor did also say she heard a little bit of a heart murmur but that it sounds innocent and since it comes and goes that usually indicates the innocent type so that is good.
