Friday was Hannah's 6 month check up with her new Dr. and I have to say I really like the facility, staff, and the Dr. We got there and of course a load of information need to be provided since this was our first although the waiting period was almost non-existent.
Her Stats:
Weight: 16lbs 3oz
Height: 24 1/2 inches
I had a really nice conversation with the Dr. and she immediately noticed Hannah's forehead, which was comforting. At least she might know what she is doing =o). She also did a more thorough exam than I have ever seen a Dr. do with either Bo or Hannah. She went on to explain that she suggested we give Hannah both the seasonal and H1N1 flu shots. I'm real hesitant to give her the H1N1 and I voiced my concerns with the Dr. She of course understood and told me it was strictly my decision but she recommended it. I don't feel like there is enough research or knowledge about this new vaccine to give my baby girl. Any thoughts?!?!?!
Within 5 minutes of leaving the office I received a phone call from the Dr. herself to go over one more thing she forgot to mention. She feels that it would be best that Hannah visits an Opthamologist to make sure everything is okay with her eyes since the sutures that closed are in her forehead. I was very impressed. Hannah's former dr. never mentioned any concern in that area and has known about this stuff for 2 months now. I'm pleased to know that this new Dr. isn't going to leave any stone unturned.
Her appointment is Wednesday so . . . until then . . .

I am on the fence about the H1N1 vaccine for that very same reason... lack of research. They are still trying to test it on pregnant women so what makes me think they really know what it will do? I'm going to discuss it with my OB tomorrow.
