RSV

I had to take Alexis to the doctor's office today for her first RSV shot. (Drove my SUV for an RSV. I RSVP'd ASAP.) Apparently, RSV is a respiratory virus that most kids get, but usually it just manifests like a typical cold. But some kids, like kids with respiratory issues (that's not Lexi) or kids that were premature (not Lexi) or have special circumstances (Lexi) can have complications if they get RSV. So the doctor ordered the shots and insurance agreed to pay (thank goodness since the nurse said it can cost up to three thousand dollars). Unfortunately, she gets this shot once a month from now until probably April. Ugh. And the nurse said that the more her weight increases, the higher the dosage and by next month she may have to get it in 2 doses. 2 doses means 2 shots. My poor baby. We had to hang out for 20 minutes afterwards to make sure she didn't have any adverse reaction to it (what is this? an allergy shot?) which she didn't. After this one, we won't have to wait the 20 minutes any more, but it worked out great since we ended up at the doctor's office as the same time as my girlfriend and we stopped and grabbed a latte afterwards. Mmmmmm, venti, non-fat, no foam, carmel latte. And a blueberry muffin. But I digress...

Today she weighed in at 14 lbs 11 oz. I thought that the baby carrier was feeling a bit heavier...
