Chicken Pox

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!
