Hi Ladies,
Willa had her needles on Wed. Wed night itself was fine but boy did we have a time of it last night. For the first time in more than 2 months, i was up giving her a night time feed. She went bonkers after 8pm just wanting to play and play and roll and rock on all-4s until like 11pm. Refused to go to bed. And then she was up every 2 hrs crying. So odd. So i gave her some panadol. Worked for about 3hrs and then she was crying again. Went on til morning. She seems ok this morning after breakfast.
While at the GP, I asked about getting her 12 months needles split up into the 3 components instead of the combined MMR all at one go. I'd asked a different doctor abt this last time I was there and he said it should be fine. But we did get some strange looks and the vibe I was getting was that it would unneccessarily upset Willa to have to come back 3 times in a month for shots particularly at that age.
Is anyone else splitting up the 12 month MMR?
Regarding ear-piercing. My DH asked me the same question. I think I'll wait until she can ask for it and can take care of them. This is because my family has a hidtory of keloid scaring so I had lots of difficulties with piercing my ears so am hoping she hasn't inherited the condition.
Also coming from Asian culture where lots of little babies get their ears pierced very early, I saw so many friends at school with piercings growing out badly as their earlobes grew. Of course this might have something to do with wearing too much baby bling that grannies give us
So i figure if she asks at around 9 or 10 she will have grow into her ears by then. The only thing is the best way to pierce is with a needle rather than a gun and at that age, it would totally freak her out, so we might wait until even later and make a special event out of it and get some nice gold studs. My sister had the same keloid issues with early piercing on numerous occasions, then waited to do it again when she was 13 via needle and has had no worries since.
SHe's banging on my piano keyboards behind me. Amazing how she finds all these setting i didn't even know my keyboards had!

p.s While typins this I received a telemarketing call from the Sydney Morning Herald trying to get me to subscribe, and when i politely say no thank you after LISTENING to the offer, the chick gives me attitude. How rude! Like I offered them my number to harass us in the first place. Sheesh. SOrry, just really annoyed with telemarketers.
