10.26.10 Bryn's 3 yr. checkup

Today was Bryn’s 3 yr. checkup. She was all excited about it when I told her, but once we got there, she wasn’t too sure what to think. She got in this funky mood and changed her mind quickly. This is the 1st checkup that they take their blood pressure, calculate their BMI and do a vision screening. She did great in all areas. She turned super shy before the eye exam and I didn’t think she was going to tell the lady what she was seeing, but with some convincing she did it! When it came time for the 1 shot she needed, it was not so fun for her, they did warn me this one would sting a little and you could tell it did, but she got over it quickly. I’ve been hearing and doing some research on the flu shot and so I’m happy to say that despite our ped. trying to talk me out of it, I declined it for our kids this year. There is just too much scary info. and research out there on the junky ingredients in those shots, so I’m hoping I made the right decision. Like I said earlier, I’m leaning more and more towards doing things the natural way. I was telling a friend, that if I had to do this all over again, I may of thought twice about putting any of the shots into my kid’s body. I know I’m second guessing the decision on getting this last shot B needed and having her talk me into it, especially since the next day she had a little reaction from it even though the nurses I called through our ped. nurse line said it wasn’t. Grrr…. Anyways, off my soapbox for now, sorry. Her appointment went very well. She was 32 pounds 6 oz. which puts her in the 75% percentile for weight, and 37 3/4 inches tall which put her in the 70% percentile in height. I hope she continues to grow tall too!
