Lacey had her doctor's appointment this morning for her well visit. She was 43 lbs and 44.75" tall! Her height is near the 90th percentile and weight is 50th percentile. Dr. Jill said her growth was awesome...nearly 3 inches in 1 year. Wow.
Lacey's been coughing and sneezing a lot lately. Dr. Jill confirmed she is having some mild problems with the pollen. Apparently, it gets worse each year due to additional exposure, so she might be a kid that has it bad later in life. (Like Rick, who has a terrible time with pollen now.)
She had to get 2 shots....chicken pox booster & MMR. She looked so pitiful with the first (chicken pox), then to have to get the MMR (which burns) afterward is just mean. :-( She cried, but got over it fairly quick. On the drive back to Miss Lisa's, she said "my shot doesn't hurt anymore".
I was going to take her to Rita's, but convinced her to wait until after school so Leah could go, too.
Next for her is blood work. I am so not looking forward to that. Leah had it done and did great...but she's the one that doesn't seem to have issues with pain or fear. Not sure when I'll get the courage to take Lacey in for the blood work.
What about the children?

I had to have an MMR three years ago because I work in a clinic. I cried like a baby. The burning just didn't stop.
Then the nurse said, "Okay, come back in two weeks and get the next round."
Are you freakin' kidding me?! But I did. And I lived. But I was not a happy camper.
Kyle hated shots even as a teenager. Big old baby. :) Why does she need to get blood work done?
