Flu Shot :(

Well another month, another appointment. When I was getting my weigh-in (favorite part, too - ugh!), the nurse asked if I was interested in getting a flu shot because they were offering them and I could get one today. I declined, because I have never gotten one, never needed one. I've never had the knock-down out of commission flu before and just wasn't worried about it. I knew I would get vaccinated for H1N1 when it comes out, but hadn't paid much attention to the regular flu shot. That was the end of it (so I thought) and I waited for the Dr. to see me. She looked a little annoyed when she walked in and the first thing she said was, "Can you explain your resistance to getting the flu vaccine?". I was a little taken back, but said, "I've never gotten it, I have been lucky to stay healthy during the flu months and just didn't think it would be necessary". She informed me of the medical reasons I should get it since I'm pregnant, and it makes total sense - in fact, it should be required, not an option for pregnant women. Anyway, after she explained all that to me, I told her I felt so stupid, it was a no-brainer, I would get the vaccine. Then she apologized for blindsiding me, she didn't realize I wasn't explained the reason behind why I really should get it. I think she thought I was an anti-vaccine person who doesn't get any vaccines for myself or my kids. Anyway, all ended well - except I got a shot. :( And my arm is really tired. My arm has the flu. But everything else is going really well! And the good news is I gained 2 lbs. since last month!! Yay! After worrying - though just a little, because does it really matter? - since Nags Head consisted of a lot of food, I was hoping to not have gained a ton! I guess I have the next three months to blow up then!! I know I can count on that!!
