Parent-Teacher Conference and H1N1

Yesterday was my first of many parent-teacher conferences for Brody. I find it pretty funny that we had one for a 19 month old, but in any case, I am glad they involve the parents and take the time out to do them. Ted met me there and they went over a development assessment they did for Brody at 18 months and he is doing everything he should be, plus more, for his age. They are always commenting about how well he speaks for his age and the teachers and administrators always tell me that he talks way more and more clearer than the other kids in his class. My first reaction is Uh-oh! Looks like he has taken after his mother in being the talkative one. My parents received many a report cards with "talks too much during class." But in any case, he is doing super! His teacher also commented that of course, he is having a few issues with sharing, which are age appropriate behaviors, but they are still working with him. We are doing the same thing at home. All in all, it was a good report and it looks like my little man is super smart and doing really well!

On another note, I received a call from my OB's office stating they got the H1N1 vaccines in and called to see if I would like to come in an receive one. I was taken completely off guard because I wasn't expecting them to get them at all and haven't been able to find them anywhere in our area. I initially scheduled the appointment for 12:00 (they called around 10:30) but initially started freaking out, worrying about whether it was the right decision or not. I called them back and rescheduled this afternoon to give me more time to think about it. Although, from everything I am reading and from the advice I am getting from everyone, I think I am going to go ahead and get it. I think the risks of getting the H1N1 weigh the risks of not getting it, plus from what I have read, it will protect Baby Girl for the first 6 months as well. So my appointment is at 4:15 and as long as I don't chicken out, I should be vaccinated by this evening!
