Well ladies and gents its time for flu season once again!! At the OB office this morning I got my flu shot and tried to get Grandma and Brett one as well, unfortunately they are all out already!!! YIKES!!!
So make sure you get yours :) before they run out!! We learned some things about the flu shot and new babies....
1. TRY to get the preservative FREE flu shot, OB offices have them, ask if the shot is preservative free (no mercury etc), if they dont know then its not.... Its just a little better for you and any person expecting a baby.
2. It takes 2 weeks for the shot to actually take affect!!! wow!! Just a heads up for those planning to visit baby Bayer, make sure you get yours 2 weeks before you come visit, or plan on being around her because it takes that long.. wow... Newborns and flu season, umm... probably not the best mix.. lol.. We will be stocking up on hand sanitizer..
3. No Swine Flu for us.. We dont plan on getting the first run swine flu vaccines, just because they are being pushed through the FDA so fast theres not enough testing for us yet (OB said wait) plus the last Swine Flu Vaccine "mess" just doesnt set well with us (and Guillain-Barre syndrome??!!??), I think we'll just see what happens....

Well thats about all- HUGE Brett test today, we are praying that he did well, my OB has been on vacation but theres been some talk of C-section due to her size and umbilical cord around her neck.. we will keep her updated as we know more. Monday we will be going to the perinatal ultrasound place for our final ultrasound and for a better idea of the future chances of birth options.
A friend (Dusty)from Memphis lives here in Cali and is coming to visit this weekend so that will be fun!! Brett is working every saturday now so just keep him in your prayers- the classes are getting more and more difficult, in his words"this is worse than prototype" aka the nuclear power school thats probably the hardest learning program in the Navy .. aka.. its TOUGH
36 weeks 6 days today... Baby Bayer comes soon!!
Love you all
Michelle Brett and Gma Myers
