Gracie had her 15 month doctors apt. 2 weeks ago and got all of her vaccines and shots. She weighed in at 20 lbs. 15 ounces and 30 in. (25th percentile). We waited to get it done until now because at her 12 month apt. she was a little sick. The whole experience was so sad and she did not like it one bit. So now here we are 12 days later and she actually was one of the 5% of babies who gets chicken pox from the vaccine. A few days ago she started to run a fever (but they say that's normal after shots so I didn't think anything of it) and kept pulling at her clothes like she wanted them off. She also has been sleeping a lot more than she already does and not had as good of an appetite(thought that was normal after shots too). This morning it all made perfect since when she had red spots all over her belly...poor baby. Here I am thinking I am being a good mom by getting her shots all taken care of so she can be healthy and she ends up getting the chicken pox from it. Getting poked for the shots was bad enough and in the end it didn't even help at all but made things worse. I'm hoping that at least the other two immunizations she got will help her stay healthy. The good thing is when you get the chicken pox from the vaccine it is suppose to be less severe. I'll post more pictures through the process. Also, considering everything Gracie has still been pretty happy and even better...she is completely walking!

awww poor little baby girl. :( that's gotta be so hard as a mom to see your baby have to go through that! Don't worry Em.. you're SUCH a good mom!! :) I love you and cant wait to see you guys very soon!
How sad! I hope she gets over it soon! Have you and Ben both had chicken pox?
Oh, so sad! Hopefully it will clear up soon. I guess untill then a bunch of baths are in order. My girlfriend went and bought her little girl a pair of "pretty gloves". She wore these so she wouldn't scratch and I guess it seemed to help. Good luck!
Poor baby. They don't look too bad, but maybe it's worse in person. That's crazy she was one of the 5%!!! You just always assume your child won't be in the 5%. Well, at least it's not like hepititis or something! I hope they go away quickly.
Poor baby girl but the bright side is that she is getting it over with now and won't have to worry about it later. I mean, she could get chicken pox on her wedding day---sorry Ryan.
