The Stats, Just the Stats

I had my 18-month check-up today. The doc doesn't think my reoccurring hives are hives at all. I've got an appt next week to see the allergist to see if we can find out what's going on. This latest batch has been quite itchy. Keeping me up at night. On top of that, I've got another cold with a runny nose and another sore throat coming on. Other than being sick, the doc says I'm growing and developing just fine. I'm 34-1/2 inches tall which puts me again at the 95th percentile for height, and I weighed in at 27.5 lbs so I bumped up to 75th percentile for weight. Course, I got to *stand* on the scale with my clothes on this time so that might have skewed things a tad. I got two more pokes - Hep A and DTaP. Mommy says I was a trooper once again - only cried during the injections. There was a little girl before us who kept crying all the way out of the clinic. No more official immunization shots until I'm ready for kindergarten. Yippee! Course, mommy will probably make me get flu shots every year, but I can handle one measily shot.

Itchy doesn't sound fun :( I remember my itchy rash all too well after my last round of shots. I hope you feel better really soon! I am very impressed at your bravery in the Dr.'s office! And the 2 shots doesn't sound as bad as all the ones we had to get last time... and thank goodness we get a break between shots now! I still have to get mine on May 1st. I hate needles!

Ok, so this officially means there ARE shots at the 18 month checkup. Great. Just great....
Cooper is right..itchy doesn't sound like fun at all. I don't knwo what itchy is all about, but I'll if it keeps you up all night, I don't want it!
