I took Rylee to the doctors today for her 9 month check up and everything is fine. She is 27&1/2 inches long and weighs 19pounds 14ounces. What a little chunk. All they did today was prick her little finger to check her iron and she didn't even cry. She was such a big girl. The results came back fine, and the doctor said that she had gd blood. That's my girl. He does recommend that she get a flu shot since she has been on Albuterol(SP?) with a nebulizer in the past and says that she is a good candidate. I made her an appointment for that next Monday. Hopefully all will go well, and my little girl won't get sick this season.

I am glad all went well.
With the flu shot she will have to get 2, 1 month apart if she has never had one.

By Rayanne on Wednesday, September 15, 2004 - 08:32 pm:

She has never had one. Thanks for letting me know Emily. Oh, BTW, do you know if kids usually get sick from it?

Rayanne, both my ds's and I got a flu shot last year. We didn't get sick from it. My youngest ds has asthma and uses albuterol. My ped. said he is at high risk, so needs a flu shot again. Yes, she does have to get 2 if she hasn't had one before.

Rayanne time does go by fast! Ds is almost 10months and a big "chunk" too LOL!!!
He is standing which means he will be walking soon! Yep, I can remember the first 3 months and lack of sleep. Not to mention hair loss, but that's fine because my hair has grown back nicely! Happy to hear Rylee is in great health!
