We went for our long overdue last 5-in-1 booster vaccinations today. This jab was supposed to be taken at 18 mths but Mummy had been dragging it.
For those who doesn't know, Mummy is a scaredy cat when it comes to needles like injections, blood tests & etc ... Mummy could still recall how she screamed and cried 4 years back when she was required to give 3 tubes of blood for normal routine body checks. And the way she screamed and squeezed Daddy's hand for all those blood tests done during her pregnancy, the epidural injection and IV drips poked in her hands.
Therefore we were only given the mandatory jabs and not those optional ones since birth. Mummy wants to save us from the pain and herself from the stress. If it wasn't for the childcare entry requirement, probably she might even wait till we go Primary One before she'll send us for our last booster jabs.
Anyway, we didn't make much fuss this time round except that Reyes screamed abit when the needle went into her butt. Perhaps she didn't know what to expect cos she was the 1st one to take it.
As for our growth development, we are growing well!! Reyden's at the 75th percentile with weight of 12.7kg and Reyes' moving towards 75th percentile as well weighing 12kg. However our heights are still in the 50th percentile with 85cm and 83cm respectively. The other thing which also remains unchanged is big head circumferences, Reyden's 97th percentile with 51cm and Reyes' 90th percentile with 49cm.
