Decisions

Well in the end we couldn't decide abt the baby nurse. My initial indecision rubbed off on my parents and after much bally-woohing, we decided (scratch that-- MY PARENTS) decided that they want to vacation locally and see the sites during the day that they haven't yet. I was perfectly fine with them going on vackay. I told them so, multiple times, but alas, they chose not to go on their vacation that was only 3 hrs from the house, and decided to stay local. Meaning out of the house during the day, back at night for like 3 days. *Sigh* What am I going to do? Force them out of their own house??

So I let them be big boys and girls and make that decision. Whatev. :)

I am going to move past it and beyond it, it will just take a little bit. Its not like I am going to be stopped by anything when I have my mind set to it. If I want to see the United States in a balloon, I will. Nothing will stop me. But parents are as parents are.

What else is new in babyland? I have already retired his 0-3 months clothes :( They no longer fit him. He had his 1 month appt yesterday and he is 10 lbs, 1 oz., 22 inches :) His next appt is his 2 months where he starts his series of vaccines which I have decided to space out over a period of time as he gets older. I think the 2 main arguments abt the links btwn autism and the vaccines are that there are so many so close to each other and that some shots are simply unnecessary.

This is all subject to change but this is what I am doing thus far-
1) Breaking up the main shot of DTap, Hep B and Polio (Hep B is only needed for daycare, so a 2 mth old doesn't need the shot now)
2) Only allowing 2 shots per visit, then doing 2 shots every 2 months.
3) Breaking up the MMR and going to wait until he is a year and a half or maybe even later as that is the big one.

Thimersol (mercury) is no longer in the vaccines, minus the influenza one, but there are aluminum in each shot and I don't want to for aluminum buildup anywhere. Also I said no to the Hep B shot at birth (it should only be required if the mother has it IMHO).

I plan to do alot more research on it, but for now I am at slight peace with it.
