Again, it's been awhile..Sorry. Things have been a little scary around here with the whole H1N1 thing going on..I have decided not to get the vaccination for my daughter for several reasons; 1) She has never had eggs and I'm not wanting to introduce them to her yet, and eggs are in the shot. 2) Children under 5 get two half doses of the vaccine, I'm assuming because the whole shot is too strong..however, how can a 5 year old and a 6 month old get the same amount? Also, I'm a little leary of the side affects as it is such a new virus and so I would like to hold off until I know more about it. This is definitely the hot topic around town these days, and especially within my Mom group. It's irritating, and reminds me of the public school days when your friend group divided over who still liked the New Kids on the Block, and who didn't. I find it an interesting topic, but I'm also so sick of disgussing it, mainly because I don't want people using fear-based tactics to try to lure me over to their side. At the same time, I don't want people to think I'm being a lazy parent. I'm doing everything else that I can to ensure that my baby (and the rest of the family) stays healthy. I'm washing my hands about a million times a day, I'm drinking lots of orange juice, eating lots of vegetables, staying away from crowds etc. It's so scary being a parent, and I had no idea that it could be such a challenge..
