Charlotte finally had her 1 year checkup... which of course I was dreading. Charlotte has had some bad reactions to those darn vaccines. I was of course ignored and treated like an overprotective mommy at first, but eventually after vaccinations in the fall that resulted in almost 103 fever, the nurse acknowledged that she may have an allergy to one of them. They decided that it must be the whooping cough vaccine, so we have eliminated it. But last Thursday she got the other vaccines and unfortunately had another tough time starting at about 2 a.m. Her fever was only 99.2 at 2:30 a.m. so we gave her tylenol, but surprisingly her fever increased over the next 2 hours to almost 102. Poor girl! She was miserable for a few days, but is ok now.
So at one year our little girl weighs in at...
17 1/2 pounds (3%)
27 inches (8%)
On Monday we went to Seattle to visit Sean for his Birthday and have a little BBQ. Right now he lives in Ballard only blocks away from the locks, so we took a little stroll over there to wonder the park and view the boats as they passed through. Happy Birthday Bro and thanks for a fun day!
not be my first mother's day, but it kind of felt that way. Maybe because CHarlotte was not due before mothers day last year and we were still in a bit of a blur when Mothers day hit last year only a few weeks old. This year I got my very first art project from Charlotte! Look at how cute this is! She made it at daycare and I held back the tears at the daycare so that I didn't look like a dummy, but I cried most of the way home. Oh boy!
