Moments of relief.
Yep, it is. Especially as a mom. Today Reese went for her 9 month check-up (I know she's almost 10 months, but they were really behind). I was fully prepared for her 9 month HIB shot. She missed it at 6 months b/c they had taken them off the shelves during that bacteria link (I hardly remember the exact reason). Well, since then they have discovered that a 3rd HIB is not necessary. Yeah for us. Being late really pays off. God sure has a plan. This whole vaccine debate really hits close to home. I was once on the other side of the fence. As a rep, I sold adult and pediatric vaccines for Glaxo. I reinforced physicians and nurses alike that there was no link with a few million studies proving just that. Now, being on the more important "mommy" side of the fence I worry myself sick.
To our relief, we are shot free today. Reese weighed in at 22 lbs 8 oz (93 %) and 29 in.(82%). She was excited to see Michelle (we love our pediatrician here) and was a wild woman, laughing and trying to walk and crawl all over her office. It was a great day.
Here's a sneak peak into a Tuesday for Jenn & Reesie:
Watching Mommy make my breakfast at 7 a.m. happy as can be.

After a morning of playing, lunch with meme and my doctor's visit I decide to get the puffs out of my diaper bag. Oh, and dump them out all over the floor.
Mommy sees me and I think it's hilarious. (She can also stick her little arm all the way into the container and grab as many puffs as her heart desires...).
The sweet look of innocence that melts my heart...
And after a full day with no afternoon nap, I fall out. Disclaimer: No child was injured or left alone during this blog. Mommy was in the other room when Meme alerted her to the fall out. She was supervised....calm yourselves.
The life of a 9.5 month old. Exhausting...
