Overdue 18mth Checkup
» motherhood
We were more then a month overdue and received a little addon souviner we get after Yauyau did her DPT vaccination, a fever! She didn’t had any reaction for the last three DPT jabs, but this time her temperature was hovering around 39C. We weren’t as concerned this time, perhaps because we had expected that to happen and have our medicine on stand by. And unlike the past which she displayed clear discomfort, she is functioning perfectly as normal. She slept well and didn’t moan in pain or woke up easily. She still jumped around and not behave like a lifeless soul. All is well, so perhaps fever after immunization’s is really a small case.
We are still postponing her MMR, and the doctor said I would be expecting a letter of reminder from the ministry. She still reminded me that measles can be deadly and it is wiser to take the vaccination. Well, everything can be deadly. Not that we are going to skip them entirely, we are just pushing it back a little while.
The doctor was also not too happy with Yauyau’s weight. She is weighing slightly over 10kg. I guess the doc prefers to see a much chubbier baby. She should see Yauyau a month ago, she was even skinnier then. But why must people always think that a scrawny kid is an unhealthy one? Anyway, I am not too concern with that, thought I think she would look cuter if she is meatier.
Everything is right on path except her speech. That part seems a bit slow, but I guess she is starting to pick up. Maybe she is just like her papa and mama, not too talkative.

You just reminded me that i have well forgotton about the DPT jab! As for the MMR… we are still putting it on hold for now as well. Don’t worry about the speech thingy. Both my parents are relatively outspoken but my brother only started speech at 4 yo! And when he starts… he cannot stop!
