I can't believe it's been a year and I'm asking this question!
What should I expect for this appointment? I feel like I remember this one being a little more intensive, like bloodwork, MMR etc. DD is a bit of a handful at appointments so figured was worth a shot in comparing your past appointments and seeing what was most common. Thanks!
Re: 1 year appointment
Yes to shots -- 4 maybe? But no to bloodwork, presuming that she had bloodwork done at her 9 month appt. for lead levels. Other than that, it's your typical appointment.
Is it bad I don't remember Abby's one year? I know she got a couple of shots, we had lots of questions about her weight, or lack of, and her diet. Developmentally, the doc asked questions about what she can do, her hearing, how's she sleeping, what words she says, number of teeth...
I guess I remember more than I thought!
I wonder if they'll bother since she's only lived in new construction... I hate when they draw blood from her. I hope she's better now, but the first 5 months it was horrible, she was a slow bleeder and it would take 6-7 minutes just to get a small amount
We live in new construction and they still did the lead test. I believe it was at 12 months.
I hope her appt goes well!
Boo! Thanks!
She should have gotten or will get her 1st Varivax (chickenpox), Hepatitis A and a Prevnar (pneumoccocal). Every practice is different with the bloodwork. At our office we do lead and hemoglobin (blood level count to check for anemia among other things) at the 1yr appointment.
Hope all is well!

Hey Jill!!! Good to see you on here
Miss ya! Her appt is next week, so we'll see! Thinking about it, they'll probably do the hemoglobin because of her past issues too. Ouch, MMR and Varivax, no fun!
