Flu Shots

I hate to get flu shots. It seems if I don't get one, I probably won't get the flu and everything will be fine. If I do get one, I get a bad cold or even a potential fever guaranteed. Well, I took myself to CVS this afternoon to get a flu shot. I am not looking forward to the sore arm and potential side effects. But, after a little harassment from my dad, mom and sister about the importance of getting one while pregnant, I decided to buck up and get it over with. I will, of course, be calling them to complain when any symptoms arise (knock on wood). If you're pregnant and decide to join team flu shot, then make sure you tell them you are prego. Apparently, there's a different flu shot for us. I guess I can see why. I failed to mention this right off the bat...although I am not hiding anything at this point...and when the nurse asked me when my last period was and I told her, May, you could see the wheels turning and the eyes a-widening. I got a minor scolding for not mentioning (the obvious).
