Vaccinations, ugh!

Yep, they start talking needles at the two month visit. But, before I get to that, here's an update on how she's doing.

She weighed 9 pounds 2 ounces yesterday (9 weeks) and was 21.5 inches long. Everything looked great and the doc said she's doing very well.

Now, she was due to get some shots yesterday but we ended up postponing them so we can figure out what to do for Eli. There's so much out there about the pros and cons of vaccinations that I'm just about paralyzed from all the data.

It seems like slowing down the number of vaccinations at any one time and spreading them further apart might be beneficial. Do any of you have any wisdom or experiences to share?

yeah you can overwhelm yourself. i did everything on time until i got to her 1yr. and only bc i really didnt know a lot early on. we were due for the MMR and the chicken pox at 12 months and didnt get them. i am putting them off until i figure out how i feel for sure. if you are unsure then wait. dr sears has some good information on his website. google dr sears, i cant think of the name right now.

I wanted to tell you about this cool website called freepeats.org. You can get gently used baby stuff and toys for free and swap out stuff that you don't need anymore. They have a group in Atlanta so you should check out their website.
