At the end of Dr. Hoffmann-Smith’s vaccination class he gave parents 8 questions to help prevent vaccine reactions. I felt like this was really helpful information since I think we’ll end up pursuing some of the recommended vaccines. Dr. Hoffmann-Smith believes many vaccine reactions aren’t reported which then skews statistics and doesn’t alert the public […]
Looks like Cheyney wasn’t the only one who thinks home births should become more prevalent in America … American Women: Birthing Babies at Home. Help us reach the first page on … it only takes 2 clicks and you can vote once each day! Baby (and mama) send lots of love and thanks your way […]
Day #8 – The Cost of Birth
Lots of countdowns happening … baby and my birthday! 23 days to baby which made me think, I’m not going to be 23 for very much longer. Also, I might be a 23 year old mom or a 24 year old mom … all depends on when baby decides to arrives in relation to October […]
Vaccines, Part 4: Thoughts on Each Vaccine
It took me awhile to finish up these posts on vaccinations .. shame on me. What can I say? I got a little preoccupied with baby clothes, bedding and other fun stuff :)– We’ve yet to make our decision about vaccines. It seems that one moment I’m super confident that we aren’t going to vaccinate, […]
Car Seat Installation
We are about ready to get a new, family-size car. Well, new to us at least :) You know what that means? It’s about time to get the car seat out of the box and get it properly installed! Thanks to Fit Pregnancy I have a guide to hand over to Dominic for the big event. Here […]
Breastfeeding Q&A
Mrs. G at Our Growing Garden just had a baby boy, James. She is making the trek through breastfeeding land and had some great questions for her pediatrician. I’m so glad she decided to share her pediatricians answers – such valuable information for a wondering mama! Check out her full post here. Now that James has surpassed […]
Interview with Dr. A
Last week I scheduled 3 pediatrician appointments … Dr. A, Dr. B and Dr. C. My Dad always taught me to comparison shop in lots of three, so that is exactly what I planned to do. Planned being the key word. Pediatrician selection seems like a big deal to me. I had amazing pediatricians growing […]
Does your crib need a bumper?
Jess over at Here Comes the Sun did some fantastic research on the dangers of crib bumpers. Definitely worth reading before you find your perfect bed set!
Vaccines, Part 3: The Schedule(s)
Before I get into each different vaccine and what we learned at the seminar I thought it might be valuable to post all the potential schedules you can follow. Researching vaccines is much more of “to vaccinate or not to vaccinate”. It is that and then “what vaccines and when”. The American Academy of Pediatrics […]
Vaccines, Part 2: Being a Skeptic
Dr. Hofmann-Smith brought up some interesting questions about why vaccines have become so encouraged. Vaccines haven’t been around forever, but due to medical advancement we have seen a rush of research and implementation in the last 100 years. Why is that? Where did it all start? Is there a tipping point where vaccinations stop doing […]
Vaccines, Part 1: Seminar and Perspectives of Approach
Part of becoming a parent is being blasted with information. Imagine Midwest hail storm – golf ball size hail. That’s how it feels. I am literally darting for cover on a daily basis. Most of this is probably from my current ability to become extremely overwhelmed (thank you pregnancy hormones); other bit probably comes from […]
