Last week Todd and I took Jett for his 2 month checkup. This is the appointment that every new mother dreads and anticipates. I did hours of research on the recommended vaccines. With all the weird stories and rumors of how these vaccines have supposedly effected other children, I had to know EVERYTHING before i went in to see the Doctors. Of course, Google is great at finding whatever information you want to find, whether it is true or false is all in the eye of the reader. Here is the list of vaccines:
Hepatitis B,
Diphtheria,
Tetanus,
Pertussis,
Haemophilus influenzae type b,
Polio,
and,
Pneumococcal Conjugate.
Did the list scare you as much as it did me? Scarier than a list of ingredients on the back of some overly processed food item!!!
So... i had my questions and concerns. The pediatrician was more than happy to entertain me by answering my questions for nearly an hour before I decided that i would indeed give Jett all the recommended shots. In the end i figured these Doctors knew what they were talking about.
The fun part was finding out Jett's stats. At 2 Months and 2 days Jett weighed in at 11lbs 15oz, putting him in the 55% of other boys his age. He was 23.75 inches which put him in the 78% (tall boy!!) and his enormous head was in the 80%. Needless to see he is 100% healthy and obviously the most gorgeous baby boy ever made!
