Why do it now? Because I have a wee tot at home who cannot get a flu shot due to her age (and probably weight). She's not in daycare and since her dad doesn't work out of the house, I am the most likely culprit to bring home the nasty bug.
I am sitting at my desk looking out the window watching the snow flakes fall. We'll see if we have an accumulation today, I hear there might actually be snow on the ground come 5pm. These are the days when I appreciate having my whopping 3 mile commute. (Well honestly, I appreciate that short commute every day!). I'm not ready for the snow and cold. Hmph.
Happy Veteran's Day
Thank you to all who have served this country!!!

Claire can't get a flu shot? Kate had one at 4 weeks....? Elizabeth will get one at 6 months. You must have a REALLY conservative pediatrician!
I'm ready for the snow. It was freezing rain this morning and now it's fluffy snow - the first reall accumulation. And I'm pretty much required (as in shamed) to get a flu shot because of working in health care. Otherwise, I'm not sure I would.
I'm surprised too that Claire can't get the flu shot. Dahlia's getting one in December at her 1 year appt (and she ranks in about the 5th percentile for size...except for her melon...). I'm getting mine on Thursday - St. Louis County offers them for free to spouses of workers - yay! but I have to go to the gov center to get it...which always makes me suspcious...hmmm...
I've never had one. My kids have since they were babes, and DH always gets one because he's diabetic.
But then again (knock on wood) I haven't had the flu in YEARS and DH & the kids always seem to get it anyway.
Hope it eludes your family this year!
OK, I have to correct my first comment. I was just putting Kate's immunization record on the ECFE form and realized that the flu shot I remember her getting wasn't right after she was born - it was a year later. And she had to have two, one month apart. So she had them at 12 and 13 months.
The plan is still for E to get one next week (at 6 months) but I wanted to correct my comment about Kate.
