What A Big Baby!

I got vaccinated for H1N1 today!

I still can't get the shot for Shane and he is too young to get the flu mist, so I will keep checking the local pediatricians for updates. At least I know that he won't get the Swine Flu from me or the kids now, so I am slightly relieved.

I had to stretch the truth a bit in order to receive the vaccination today. The target population to receive the vaccine includes caregivers of babies younger than 6 months. Shane is 8 months old so I am technically not in the target population. But, since I can't find the vaccine for him ANYWHERE I think that I still qualify as part of the "target population".

So, when the nurse looked at Shane and asked me how old he was I looked her straight in the eyes and said "he's five months old". Ok, she said, then you can receive the vaccine. So I did. And I don't feel bad about lying either!

He has got to be the largest 5 month old that I have ever seen! I don't know what she was thinking? Maybe she knew that he was older and let it go! Either way John is going there on Friday to get the mist since he is also the primary caregiver of a HUGE 5 month old baby! What can I say? Desperate times call for desperate measures!
