One Year Check-up

Ok so not really a doctor picture but cute none the less. Megan likes the sit in Baron's food bowl. Yes, she is always doing something odd and funny. On to her doctors appointment...Dr Shanavas said that "She's perfect!" Always nice to hear. She also had a huge weight gain over the last 3 months. Megan now weighs 18 lbs 12 oz (3 lbs heavier) she is 29 inches tall (2 inches taller). Those measurements put her in the 20th percentile for weight and 40th percentile for height. She still isn't big enough to face forward in her car seat, but I knew that was going to happen.

Megan was supposed to get 2 shots today but after a long and frustrating conversation with the nurse that didn't happen. Basically, I was told to lie to the Health Department so Megan could get a cheaper vaccine because the doctors office was out of one. I can't in good faith tell the Health Department I'm under-insured just to get a vaccine. So tomorrow when I'm calmed down I will call the doctors office and set up an appointment to get the vaccines and will pay full price if I have to because I can't lie. The whole story is confusing and who knows what I will have to do or pay but getting Megan a chicken pox vaccine shouldn't be this hard.

Megan you must have received some extra love over the last three months. That is what I was told about Brenden while he was in Michigan. Way too go. Keep it up!
