Breaking through!

So once again I post with a new mile stone for Miss Stella! We have broke through with our first tooth! Luckly the teething process has not affected Stella's wonderful ability to sleep through the night! I also have gained an even greater appreciation for those mothers that breastfeed through the teething process! That one little tooth is painful on my finger! :) I was kind of hoping that once a tooth started coming in the rest would just follow and pop up in the next few days! Oh well I guess it could be worse, we have not even needed to use the baby Tylenol all that much! Which is a good thing considering all the baby medication recalls currently!

Speaking of medication and babies; what is everyone's feelings on flu shots for babies? The kids at Stella's daycare seem to be getting sick ALL the time! So I am a little scared not to get the flu shot for her. Ryan and I get our flu shots every year, so I don't oppose it but what is everyone's opinion?

I've always gotten them for my kids, but the first year is tough...they need two shots (a booster is needed a month after the first shot).

I'm sure I'll do them again this year for the kids...shhh, don't tell them yet, they're not fond of shots!

I had Celia get her's the other day. With daycare, I don't even want to risk it! And they have approved the Flu-mist for 2 and up, Sonia! No shots!! Celia was really excited. Sorry, Stella, you will have to get the shot. :(

I get Carter a flu shot, too. And YEAH no shot!

FYI...the Flu-mist vaccine is a live vaccine (contains actual, live flu virus) and the shot is an inactivated vaccine (not live).

I'm still getting Charlotte and Mason the shot - Charlotte doesn't need any more live viruses in her system!!
