Oops

I forgot to put what the doctor said on here! She was 10 pounds (50th percentile) & 23" (90th percentile, although when I measured her the other day she was 24, but she wouldn't stretch her leg out). He also said that she was strong & very smart (she looked for us 1st before she would look at him...who knew that was a good thing?). He also said she didn't have cradle cap, that her head was just dry. Nonetheless, the cradle cap shampoo stuff has been working.

I've also had some people ask me about the alternate schedule. Here is what is recommended:

2 months: DTaP, Rotavirus
3 months*: Pc, HIB
4 months: DTaP, Rotavirus
5 months*: Pc, HIB
6 months: DTaP, Rotavirus
7 months*: Pc, HIB
9 months: Polio (IPV)
12 months: Mumps, Polio (IPV)
15 months: Pc, HIB
18 months: DTaP, Chickenpox
2 years: Rubella, Polio (IPV)
2 1/2 years*: Hep B, Hep A (start Hep B at birth if any close relatives or caregivers have Hep B)
3 years: Hep B, Measles
3 1/2 years*: Hep B, Hep A
4 years: DTaP, Polio (IPV)
5 years: MMR
6 years: Chickenpox
12 years: Tdap, HPV
12 years, 2 months*: HPV
13 years: HPV, Meningococcal (once Meningococcal vaccine is approved for age 2, Dr. Sears will move it there and delay Hep B by 6 months)

Of course there are other versions out there - this one is the Dr. Sears version. We still have decided not to do a flu shot because it still contains thimerosal and familial history of negative reactions, and have mixed feelings about the some of the others. Madelyn is doing well & seems to be her normal self, other than being off her nighttime schedule a bit.

Otherwise, we've had a busy day today, and tomorrow will be too as I get ready to go back to work. We think we've gotten Madelyn covered for the days my mom has to work. My dad is going to keep her next week, Amelia the week after that, and hopefully my dad will be home the last week. Otherwise David may have to take some time...hopefully that won't cut into our beach trip in June! Another reason I'm excited for the next 3 weeks to be over is because some of my family is coming to visit!! None of my family has gotten to see her since she was born, with the exception of my parents and 1 cousin who drove a long way to get there. I have a couple of pictures to download...hopefully we'll get there sometime this week!
