We are taking the twins to meet my husbands mom today. She has dementia so she won't remember it. The sad thing is that she has always wanted a daughter or a grand daughter. She finally has one and she won't remember. Dd is the first/last girl on that side of he family.
That's a sweet thing to do, and heartbreaking. I hope she is at least happy while you guys are there.
Well she loved seeing the babies. We had lunch with her in the dining room and everyone loved seeing the kids. My oldest scored with treats from almost everyone. It was kinda sad because you can tell they don't get kids there often. We need to go back more often. Thank you everyone for your kind words. I
Dd got her flu shot on Monday night and is still feeling icky today and I've given her Tylenol. At what point do you also give the baby Advil?
This is probably a FFFC but I decided to skip the flu shot for her this year. We are on the standard schedule with the exception of that and one missed hep C I think- it was the 2nd of whatever they got in the hospital. She'll get another soon but we are trying not to do more than 2 needle vax per appointment.
My reasoning was we will BF through the rest of the season and I got this years flu shot which hasn't really been effective anyway. I'm not oppose to ever giving it to her, I just didn't think it was worth it this season.
Our pedi talked me into it because after 6 months BF immunities aren't shared.

My pediatrician didn't even offer at our 6m appointment, and I completely forgot. I'm annoyed with myself about it now.

ALL THE FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kidding.
DD's 6 month appt. is tomorrow and I wasn't going to remember about the flu vax unless they offered it (thanks for the reminder!). I'll see what my pedi says, and will get it if they recommend it.
I was iffy about it because it wasn't a good match this year. But the np we see said out of her patients that got the flu, the ones who had the shot had lesser symptoms. Anecdotal, but worth it in my opinion. I didn't know that at 7 months they need a booster. Gotta remember to schedule that.

We are not scheduled for a booster!? He's past 7 months.. Hmm

No one batted an eye at me when I declined it. Not the nurse or the doc.
They didn't question it when I passed on DS when he was that age, but since he was more adamant this time I did it. I haven't gotten it and DS hasn't had it this year either, though.

WARNING, loss mentioned
I usually regret our decision to settle in our hometown, the weather sucks and there's not a lot going on. But I am so proud of my community right now. A little 9 year old boy is in his final stages of cancer and the community has wrapped their arms around his family. One of his last wishes was to have an upstairs and the community made it happen, a local car dealership gave his family a minivan so he could travel to treatments in Philidelphia in comfort. He has wanted to see the new spongebob movie and the local theater is giving him a private screening if he is up to it. Thousands of dollars have been raised in the last week to help with funeral costs. My heart breaks everyday for his family, I can't stop checking his facebook page for updates, it's Julians Joust if you want to check it out for yourself. Hold your babies extra tight.

I seriously considered skipping the flu shot for DD this year due to its low effectiveness and the fact at this age they're supposed to get a second one at 7 months. But she's in a group daycare setting and our pediatrician recommended it so I went ahead and did it. She was already getting three other vaccine shots that day. What was one more stab anyway?

P's Dr mentioned the flu shot but I hesitantly declined. Once I told him I didn't think it was really necessary since it wasn't a good match this year, he's BF, and not in DC, the Dr told me that he didn't get the flu shot for any of his kids either. That made me feel better. I'm not completely against the flu shot but I only get it when I find myself in a situation that makes me at a higher risk.
Well I thought it was the flu shot booster causing Gabby to be in pain and feverish, nope it's the brand new tooth she is cutting. Just happened the same time as the shot.

I hope you can make some happy memories and I'm sure your MIL will enjoy this time! Hugs!
I didn't bother getting the flu shot for the baby. He didn't turn 6 months until the end of January and his next appt is in March. Thanks to Mother Nature, we've hardly been out of our house so his exposure to germs has been limited to what his brother brings home from school (and he and I both had our flu shots).
The one I'm most worried about exposing the baby to crap is DH because of his air travel. I hope he doesn't end up on a plane with some unvaccinated kid who just visited Disneyland.

We had our 6m visit today and the Dr recommended the flu shot- we got it and she also said that it was given in 2 parts and to come back in 1 month. DD got 3 shots and one oral vax - she was such a champ.
No one batted an eye at me when I declined it. Not the nurse or the doc.
I tried to decline the flu shot for these same thoughts. Nurse looked at me and rolled her eyes...then they made me wait 45 min. First thing the doc said when appearing, so you don't want the shot...we ended up getting it, but I wasn't totally sure.
Rolled her eyes?? That would warrant a throat punch from me.
I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or what, but almost every person that posts on my FB circle that says that are hit with the flu, had gotten the flu shot. That stinks!

Probably coincidence. How many people are going to post "I got the flu shot and haven't gotten the flu! Squee!!!1!!1"
Also, even if you do get it, the vaccine is supposed to make it "lighter."

I think a lot of times, people say they have the flu when really they have a cold or intestinal thing. Every time FIL gets sick with anything he says he has the "flu".
My boss's wife is pregnant! They got married in November. He's my age, she's a year older, and he said if she could have her way, she'd be pregnant right away. Looks like she got her wish. She's due in August. So excited for them.
