Grayson had his 9 month well child check today. He weighed 20 pounds and was 29 3/4 inches tall. I see that he is growing bigger, but those numbers were surprising. I can’t believe how big my little baby is getting.
It was the first appointment where I didn’t barrage the doctor with questions. During the last three months I have become less of the paranoid, nervous new mom and more of the relaxed, confident in my ability to take care of my baby kind of mom. I am happy that I am beginning to cross over that line. I spend a lot less time worrying about irrational things. I still have my moments, Damian and my mother could tell you lots of them. I think going through Gray having the flu has also relaxed me a lot. Having him so sick has really made me appreciate his good health.
Today I found out that swine flu vaccine is only available in our area via a mass vaccination in a park, of all places. They are expecting 2000+ people to come. Isn’t bringing a massive group of people together to stand in line and wait for a vaccination the perfect breeding ground for illness? It seems illogical to me. Whatever though, we need to get it, so we will go.
