Recap of well check ups

So to pick up where I left off...Riley is great in all areas! Even Bree got the a-okay in most areas, but obviously there are delays with not being able to sit up on her own and not eating by mouth. I did discuss in length (and this is not the first time) with Johanna about the H1N1 shot and we have decided to get it for both of our girls, and for ourselves. We feel that it is necessary for our family. They have already had their regular flu shots and Adam and I will get ours when they come in on base.

The rest of their well check up appointment consisted of discussing Riley's sleeping habits, and giving Bree her one year old shots. Poor little girl, she had to get four separate shots! She was a trooper though and after just a few moments of cuddles and love she was settled back down again. She has had a rough two days since having her shots, but we are keeping an eye on her. She has not had a fever yet, but just seemed pale, flushed and lethargic. I think from now on I am going to ask to have any shots split up so she does not receive so many at once. Her little body doesn't seem to be able to handle it.

Tomorrow Adam and I will be clearing Riley's room of any "super fun" toys and just leaving baby dolls, stuffed animals, and books in her room. We are going to be more strict with our bedtime routine: teeth, bath, pj's, book, "rocka rocka" (rocking in her chair), then kisses and bed. We will then put the gate up, and not answer to any pleading calls of "Mommmmmmyyyyyy!". Hopefully with consistency this bedtime thing will become easier. Wish us luck!
