Update on Vaccination Situation

So last Tuesday I called the pedi and talked to someone about what needed to be done to get Aspen's shots. It was getting close to her being a month late on them (she'll be 7 months this week). The lady on the phone was very apologetic about what was going on with the whole situation. I basically told her that something needed to be done or she wasn't going to get anymore...end of story. I asked her about a delayed vaccination scheduled. She agreed that would probably be best since we were having to pay out of pocket for them. The pedi's office agreed to give us a discount on the vaccinations. I'm not thrilled with the discount, we really only save $40 dollars or so, but what do you do.
So I took her today and she got one shot and one oral vaccination and it cost me $142 today. She will need two more shots in a month and then one more at her 9 month appointment. But Max is going to need shots in January at his 4 year appointment. Hopefully we can get some new insurance soon and have something better.
But the positive side to just getting one shot is that she isn't fussy at all like she was when she got 4 shots in one day. I really like doing it that way.

Oh and she was 14lbs 4oz today. She had just eaten a 4 oz jar of babyfood right before we went, but I'm not sure if that matters or not.
